Fernanda Ortiz 10/26/2020 9:36 PMTe invitamos a llevar esos residuos reciclables que has estado acopiando en casa, a fin de que puedan tener una disposición final adecuada. Si bien al reciclar evitamos que se sigan extrayendo materiales y se ahorran recursos naturales, la mejor solución siempre será el generar la menor cantidad de residuos que podamos. Recuerda tomar las medidas sanitarias necesarias al salir de casa y evita ir en grupo. -
