The garbage that was accumulated in the City Hall garbage dump “Orito” were taken to the continent on the ship Aquiles of the Chilean Navy. The load included plastic, glass, cardboard, between others. This materials were kept during a year in quarantine before it was permitted to transport it. At the continent they would be taken to two different recycling companies and they would be in charge of processing the trash of Easter Island.

We expect this load to be the first of many! So we can keep Rapa Nui clear of garbage.
