Where goes my garbage?
The Waste Treatment Centre del Vallès (CTRV) is located on a hill overlooking the Cardús Coll massif in the municipality of Vacarisses, in the neighborhood of VallèsOccidental. This site is currently occupied by a controlled waste landfill nearing itscapacity limit. This has meant that the managing body consider regulating the closure of the facility and to explore possible future uses of the area. The choice of the location of the CTRV also took into account different criteria of adequacy and economic logistics, as well as minimizing environmental impacts resulting from installation and operation of waste management related activities.
The activity of the landfill has led to hostile topographic alterations and changes in the natural environment. For this reason, we decided to set up facilities in areas wherelandfill activity had already damaged the natural environment. Despite the size of theplant facilities, is intended to achieve more horizontal integration with the environment. Toachieve this, we adapted topographic high, where the impact of the roofs and facadesare minimized by the posterior landscape restoration.
