A commitment that also seeks to reduce the effort of the operators, while improving the attention of citizen alerts and optimizing the cleaning of dog excrement and urine.
Urbaser’s objective regarding these two lots awarded in the new contract, is to provide an efficient service with the citizens of Madrid at the centre, always adapting to the needs of the city and guaranteeing the provision of an optimum service at all times.
