End of Irregular Waste Disposal in 15 Municipalities of Minas Gerais with the New Plant

Since 2019, through the North Minas Environmental Development Consortium (Codanorte), landfills in 15 municipalities in the Minas Gerais region have been closed, resulting in the end of irregular disposal of over 800 tons of solid waste.

The municipality of Francisco Dumont in Minas Gerais invested about R$ 170,000 in the construction of the plant, and according to the City Hall, it is estimated that at least 21 tons of waste will start to be properly directed each month, thus increasing job opportunities for the local population.
