It wants to achieve this with a variety of measures. One of them is that the leaves collected now in autumn are brought to a composting plant to be used later as fertiliser for the more than 3.000 parks in the city. A little later than elsewhere in Europe, but in Madrid the "leaf season" is now beginning. What is normally a familiar sight is completely new this year. This is because the city has developed an elaborate operational plan to not only strengthen the city cleaning plans, but also to make it more sustainable. Special teams and equipment are deployed at 90 to 150 hotspots, depending on the weather, to "in triad" - as the authorities call it - first take the leaves from the pavements to the street and from there to the sweepers and finally to the composting plant. Those who speak Spanish can find out more here in the report by the Telemadrid television station. Contribution Telemadrid (Source: Photo: AYUNTAMIENTO DE MADRID; Video: Telemadrid) Within the scope of the city cleaning operations, the more emission-free, electrically or natural gas powered sweepers are used, and the more such sweepers that come from our company are used.
