Valongo landfill complies with TUA, says company

Recivalongo announced that its landfill in Valongo complies with the Environmental License, needing minor improvements for license renewal. The company responded to inquiries regarding the government's potential closure of the site, emphasizing that the inspection report confirmed compliance with most conditions. However, some issues were noted that require attention, such as cleaning rainwater channels and adjusting temporary barriers. The company argues that these are minor issues and not serious violations. The landfill has faced public opposition since 2019 due to environmental concerns, including unpleasant odors and potential pollution. The Environment Minister stated that the closure depends on the company's compliance within 60 days.
