Disposal: What is being done in Bragado about the large amount of garbage we produce daily?
Student: Brabo David Ariel
Topic: Disposal
Subject: Language and Culture.
I made an interview to a friend of mine called Daniel, who Works at ECOBRAG.
He is in charge of the machines.
Here is the interview:
David: How long have you been working here?
Daniel: I have been working here for six years.
David: How many people works in Ecobrag?
Daniel: there are about forty people working here right now
David: How many garbage are you recycling per day?
Daniel: Well, I’ll say between 40 and 60 tons each day, it is a lot, but this is only a small step in order to help the planet.
David: That’s for sure, anyway, how do you spread your work to create conscience in people to recycle?
Daniel: Well, there had been many campaigns for that but most of people don’t listen…so it wasn’t very successful in that way. We do what we can; the rest is up to people. One time, for example, we delivered green garbage bags so people should put their recyclable garbage in there to help us to recycle and classify that garbage, but it was useless. There was a lot of unrecyclable garbage there so we couldn’t do anything with that, and so it has been cancelled.
David: That’s a problem…
Tell me, what kind of garbage do you recycle in here?
Daniel: Well there’s a lot of things, for example, paper, plastics, glass, hard plastics from chairs, cans and aluminum.
David: Do you use any kind of chemicals in the process of recycling?
Daniel: No, absolutely not. We don’t use anything like that. It is a whole natural process
David: I see. That is good. And how is this process? Could you explain me a little?
Daniel: Sure, I’ll tell you. First we have the trucks full of garbage, we throw that into a tolva, from there, the garbage goes through a cinta elevadora to a machine that breaks everything into small pieces. And from there it goes through a cinta transportadora where people start to classify and separate garbage. There are a lot of steps to reach the wanted results but this is the basic of the process.
David: Ok, Daniel I won’t bother you anymore, thanks a lot for your patience and for explaining all this to us.
Daniel: No, thanks to you and I hope that this helps to improve the recycling in our city
