The Municipality of Villa María has introduced a new electronic waste recycling container in Parque Pereira y Domínguez. Located near the intersection of Rawson and Chile streets, the initiative is designed to collect obsolete devices—including computers, printers, cartridges, and small appliances—to prevent them from entering the final disposal cell at the Environmental Management Center.

To ensure security, the container remains locked, requiring residents to contact municipal staff at Municerca 2 to facilitate deposits during weekday morning hours. Once full, the materials are transferred to a specialized recycling company. This addition expands the city’s existing waste management infrastructure, which already includes battery containers and 20 dry waste separation points.
