The development of ‘Dirty MRFs’ (processing mixed garbage to recover recycable materials) has been stymied by citizen dissent and poor operating performance. Most recently, the well publicized dirty MRF proposed for Indianapolis, IN, has been put on hold.

El desarrollo de las \u2018planta de reciclaje sucias\u2019 (que procesan basura mixta para recuperar materiales reciclables) se ha visto obstaculizado por la oposici\u00f3n ciudadana y su bajo rendimiento operativo. Recientemente, la muy publicitada planta de reciclaje sucia propuesta para Indian\u00e1polis, Indiana, ha sido suspendida. Los recicladores y ecologistas ven la instalaci\u00f3n propuesta como una forma de mejorar el combustible para la incineradora de basura de Covanta en el centro de la ciudad. La quema masiva de basura produce entre 4000 y 6500 BTU por libra. Al eliminar el vidrio y el metal y secar los materiales org\u00e1nicos (combustible derivado de residuos), se pueden obtener entre 10 500 y 12 000 BTU por libra.<\/p>\n

Indian\u00e1polis nunca ha desarrollado un sistema de reciclaje moderno debido precisamente a esta incineradora. Durante a\u00f1os, dependiendo del servicio de recogida y del servicio voluntario en la acera, la ciudad nunca ha superado una tasa de reciclaje residencial del 10%.<\/p>\n

Ahora, Carey Hamilton, de la Coalici\u00f3n de Reciclaje de Indiana<\/a>, afirma: \u201cEste es el primer paso hacia el desarrollo de un programa de reciclaje de primera clase para nuestra ciudad\u201d. Hamilton hab\u00eda escrito anteriormente un art\u00edculo de opini\u00f3n en contra de la instalaci\u00f3n propuesta.<\/p>\n

Lee el art\u00edculo \u201cSe suspende el pol\u00e9mico proyecto de planta de reciclaje de residuos mixtos en Indian\u00e1polis<\/a>\u201d\u2014 De Resource Recycling, 10 de febrero de 2016.<\/p>\n
