The agricultural pruning deposit point is a free service that starts up this Friday, March 5, and is aimed at those professionals or agricultural enthusiasts who do not have the possibility of managing agricultural remains through another authorized alternative.

The councilors responsible for the areas of Agriculture and Environment have taken advantage of the announcement of this municipal measure to support the sector to offer details of the Order of December 30 of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, which only allows burning controlled in exceptional situations as a phytosanitary measure to prevent or mitigate the spread of pests or achieve the eradication of harmful organisms for certain crops.
In these exceptional cases of controlled burns, the circumstances must be accredited in accordance with the procedure indicated in the aforementioned regional order.
First of all, the owner of the holding has to submit a request addressed to the General Directorate of Agriculture, Industry and Cooperativism at the Single Window or at the electronic office, accompanied by the completed model of the responsible declaration and a technical report issued by an advisor in Integrated Pest Management, registered in the Official Register of Phytosanitary Defense Medium Producers and Operators (ROMO).
If the place of the burning is also less than 400 meters from the forest area, river or boulevard, the same registered documentation must be sent to the Sub-Directorate General for Forest Policy through the email prevencion.incendiosforestales@carm.es .
Finally, the favorable report on the prevention of forest fires must be transferred to the City Council - along with the rest of the documentation presented to the Ministry of Agriculture - so that it is aware of and adopts the appropriate environmental and public health measures in the exercise of municipal jurisdiction on air pollution in urban areas.
"From the City Council we offer to provide all the information and advise them in the procedure, in addition to enabling this deposit point that, without being direct municipal competence or a definitive solution, helps mitigate this problem", said the mayor of Agriculture, José Antonio Garcia.
