Initiative to Improve Solid Waste Management in Loíza Street
This week, as part of the initiative Que No Toque el Piso Ni Llegue al Agua, Estuario took water samples from Loíza Street’s storm sewer system.
The Project looks to reduce waste and pollutants (both solid and liquid) from reaching nearby water bodies. These efforts include an information campaign for the reduction, reusing and recycling of solid waste and used cooking oil, through street art expression, production of informative videos, online education campaigns, and the installation and distribution of used oil management infrastructure.

Estuario continues sharing the benefits of implementing Green Infrastructure in urban environments. Rain collection systems allow for a more effective management of our water resources, thus helping mitigate droughts and their effects, which have increased in frequency and severity due to climate change.
This week Estuario celebrated Estuaries Week, highlighting the importance of the National Estuary Program’s work towards the restoration and protection of our water bodies. See the actions Estuario performs to achieve its goals, HERE.
