Centros de...

Los Centros de Acopio (recycling centers) in Cuernavaca (and specifically in San Anton) are growing and doing very well. Cuernvaca already has three and is establishing another one that will work with Subia a Chalma. These recycling centers have been going for over five years.
With little surprise, the government does not support, nor want to support, these recycling centers... because the more garbage people produce, the more money the government gets--and these Centros de Acopio focus on REDUCING the amount of garbage produced.

We need plans of largo plazo (long term)-- these Centros de Acopio are part of that long-term initiative.

Relleno sanitario = corto plazo
Cooperativas entre las comunidades (como los de los Centros de Acopio) = largo plazo****
