URBAN CLEANING
WASTE MANAGEMENTEMARP - Municipal Company of Waters and Residues of Portimão, recommends that populati-on complies with some rules in the handling of household waste, in order to guarantee the protection of public health and the workers, as well as to prevent the spread disease, making it compatible with the need for effective and efficient waste management.
1. Houses and Local Acommodation
It is recommended that:
In case you are facing a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 infection being treated at home, all waste produced by the patient and those who provide him assistance, should be placed in resistant and disposable garbage bags, filled up to 2/3 of its capacity.• In addition, masks, gloves and kleenexm ust be properly packed in garbage bags, and must be placed in the common garbage container.• These properly closed bags must be placed in a 2nd bag, also properly closed, and be deposited in the undifferentiated waste container.• The bags must always be placed inside the container, never leave the bag on the floor. If the container is full, place the bag in the nearest container on use when available.
2. Companies, hotels and other accommodation with big concentration of people, ports and airportsIt is recommended that:
If you are facing a suspected or confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19):
• The waste produced by customer and by whom provides assistance, should be equated to biohazardous medical wasted (group III), and their management must be ensured as such.
• The residues must be stored in a resistant plastic bag, placed in a content with lid and non-manual opening. When the bag is full (fill up to 2/3 of its capacity), it must be closed tightly and deposited in a 2nd bag.
• The waste must be kept segregated and sent to a licensed operator for the management of biohazardous medical waste.PUBLIC AREAS CLEANINGPortimão Municipal Water and Waste Company makes a reinforcement in cleaning and disinfection services, namely disinfection of public roads, in the main areas that still register an big influx of people.
The operation took place on March 21st and 22nd with sodium hypochlorite.
This product, considered the most suitable for this purpose, was primarily applied by EMARP in the areas of banks, entrances to the Market on Avenida São João de Deus, supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies, etc., as well as at ATMs and bus stops, in addition to other public spaces, and also in Alvor and Mexilhoeira Grande.This is a prophylactic measure that meets the new guidelines and recommendations to face of the Covid-19 pandemic situation.EMARP is carrying out vigilant monitoring of the public areas, being able to intervene whenever determined and thus justified. -
