The Governments of the Federal District and the State of Mexico found by signing an agreement whereby shall undertake to provide resources and infrastructure so joint for properly handling waste. Eruviel Avila Villegas, Mexico State Governor, said during the delivery of trucks and compactors for 83 municipalities that the Convention is to receive up to 4 thousand tons of solid waste from Mexico City, while this will invest resources to turn into compost or energy organic waste that comes from the State of Mexico. The municipalities that will be coordinated to receive waste are Xonacatlan, Cuautitlan Izcalli and Ixtapaluca. They will work with the City Council as with private entrepreneurs who are responsible for the operation of landfills so that they receive the remuneration corresponding to the volumes of waste receiving. The head of the State Executive pointed out that the agreement is positive because all local governments around the Federal District can take advantage of the Convention. The municipalities are they benefit by decreasing the volumes of waste that handle and, on the other hand, will get compost that can be used in public parks or nurseries, or you will receive power. The State of Mexico generates 15 thousand tons of garbage every day, amount that represents 16 percent of the total waste of the Republic as a whole. One of the reasons for the signing of this agreement is that about 40 percent of the waste is composed of organic residues, which may be processed in its entirety in the recycling plant that will work for the Valley of Mexico.

Perhaps the only drawback for the municipalities shall take charge of the transport of waste to the plant and back, because relocation costs will be covered by local governments. Eruviel Avila took the opportunity to announce a campaign for separation of solid waste to be held in 35 locations in the State, as well as exchange of PET food pantries in 15 municipalities more. Unfortunately, non-organic residues or inert, such as plastics derived from petroleum and construction materials which are not susceptible to be reused, as waste of rebar and gravel, continue forming most of the solids that accumulate in landfills. This agreement will mean for the DF a respite to storage problems of solid waste which has suffered during the past years, at the same time as a good opportunity to dabble in alternative energy generation technology.
