Technological innovation through VISION Thorough planning Commitment to inclusion The contract portfolio exceeds 366 million euros 300,000 inhabitants The waste collection service, which caters to around 300,000 inhabitants and collects 118,703 tonnes per year, will boast a wor- kforce of 160 people and 58 ve- hicles, and will undertake the progressive implementation of the organic fraction selective co- llection. Regarding the container fleet, the number of units will be increased for the collection of the organic fraction. For selecti- ve collection, the current areas will be expanded, introducing rear-loading and left side-loading containers. Specific door-to-door collection will be implemented for large producers and mini-bins for composting will be distributed in rural areas, where selective co- llection will also be promoted, for which filling sensors will be ins - talled. Finally, a system of daily put-on / put-off containers will be introduced in the Old Town. 2,303 km of streets and 7.2 km of coastline The street cleansing service co- vers 2,303 kilometres of street, of which 1,634 are located in rural areas, and will have around 360 people and 90 vehicles. Measu- res to reduce the consumption of drinking water in the services, saving systems in equipment and water meters, and environmenta- lly friendly biodegradable cleaning products will be adopted. Specific measures have also been esta- blished to reduce noise pollution, improve road safety and reduce odour nuisance. The frequency of the service will be increased on Sundays and public holidays. The beach cleaning service, which comprises 7.2 kilometres of coast- line, has 27 workers and 19 vehi- cles. A mechanical sifting machine on a mini-tractor will be incorpora- ted, as well as an ambitious propo- sal for the placement of containers and bins for selective use accor- ding to fractions, with the aim of easing their subsequent recycling. Four waste deposit points will be set up, consisting of side-loading containers for exclusive use for each of the fractions. Lastly, different types of Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) will be implemented: permanent, mobile and of proximity, all with the aim of facilitating the correct sepa- ration and collection for the citizen. This new service has a Deposit and Reward System (SDR in Spa- nish) for refuse which will be ins- talled in civic centres. The mobile HWRC will be installed in 12 stra- tegic locations in the city and there will be a clean “bookcentre” servi- ce to give a second life to books, records. In terms of technological innovation, the comprehensive management of services will be carried out through the VISION digital platform, developed exclusively by FCC Medio Ambiente, which allows the control, monitoring and optimisation of the works and makes it possible to interact in real-time with resi- dents’ requests. It can be fully integrated with other software platforms that the Vigo City Council has or may contract in the future, bearing in mind the con- tinuous innovation of the Council and, consequently, of the service. With this renewal, annual and occasio- nal communication and awareness-rai- sing action plans will be implemented, while specific direct campaigns will be created for different actions such as the collection of household goods and bulky items, the new organic fraction collection service, or the selective co- llection of paper/cardboard and pac- kaging, among others. The staff of the services is well above the legal minimum number of workers with disabilities, and various agree- ments have been signed with local entities such as the Down Vigo Foun- dation, Cruz Vermella, Erguete Foun- dation or the Galician Federation of Deaf People, all with the aim of facilita- ting access to the labour market for di- fferent groups in vulnerable situations. environment B U S I N E S S 11 B U S I N E S S
