Description: The PREAL Chile project will carry out a citizen campaign for the collection and recovery of WEEE that seeks to educate and sensitize people regarding the importance of depositing this type of waste in suitable sites for its subsequent recovery. The activity will take place on Saturday, October 14, in commemoration of International WEEE Day, and will have the collaboration of the Municipality of Peñalolén. In addition, this activity managed to obtain financing from TRAEE (future SIG for AEE) and Samsung. Each one contributed 5,500 USD.
The campaign consists mainly of making a call to citizens informing about the campaign, so that on the day of the event they take their WEEE to the different collection points that will be established in the commune of Peñalolén, and which will later be transported to the Degraf company, authorized manager in the pretreatment of WEEE.
In addition to the above, at the Ceremonial Center of Native Peoples of Peñalolén (one of the WEEE collection points) they want to have a festival-type activity, titled "RENCHUFAFEST", where there will be music, food trucks, repair associations and where there will be the artistic intervention of “Los Fi”, so that the entire community becomes part of this campaign and can learn in an educational way about the environmental problems associated with WEEE.
