What the mapping says
No support note recorded
Caveat
The entry's lesson notes the city publishes tonnage only by plant type, so nobody outside city hall can say which cooperative recovered what.

Fetched 2026-07-26. Original Art. 6 sets reduction targets of '30% for 2010, 50% for 2012 and 75% for 2017, taking as base the levels sent to CEAMSE during 2004', and the page records that Ley 5966 (2018) modified Art. 6. Primary source for the original targets and for the fact of the amendment.

Fetched 2026-07-26. NGO campaign source, used only for the amended schedule and the baseline shift: Ley 5966 sets 50%/2021, 65%/2025, 80%/2030 and takes 'como base a 2012, año en el que se enterraron 2.131.072 … toneladas … en vez de 2017, cuando la cantidad fue aproximadamente la mitad'; also 'en 2017 se llegó a un 26% de reducción'. The consolidated text of Ley 5966 on argentinambiental.com returned HTTP 503 and cedom.gob.ar failed DNS resolution, so the amended article was not read in the original.

CC-BY, last modified 22 Jun 2026. The resource CSVs were fetched directly: Zona_Cooperativas_RSUsecos_clean.csv names all 12 cooperatives and their assigned zones ('asignado a 12 Cooperativas de Recuperadores Urbanos'); Centros_clasificacion_RSU_clean.csv lists 14 green centres with an 'administra' column naming the operating cooperative. This is the data layer the entry rests on. The older human-facing page /dataset/centros-clasificacion-residuos returns HTTP 404.

Fetched 2026-07-26. About 3,100 recuperadores in cooperatives used the subsidised transport; more than 6,000 recuperadores work across 12 cooperatives; the service cost 'alrededor de 6.000 millones de pesos anuales'; mayor Jorge Macri calls it a 'privilegio'. Source for the 2025 cut in the snippet.

Fetched 2026-07-26. Puntos Verdes fall from 80 (2021) to 41 (2023) to 22 (2025) on 'criterios de eficiencia administrativa'; containers rise 4,079 to 4,589; city says 2024 recycled 6% more than 2023; a city legislator notes battery and organic collection at Puntos Verdes tripled 2021-23. The city's headline '60% recovered / 3,450 t per day' was deliberately not used — it mixes rubble, forestry and organics with dry recyclables and is not comparable to the Basura Cero burial baseline.

Fetched 2026-07-26. CEAMSE was created in January 1977 jointly by the city and the province of Buenos Aires and handles about 23,000 t/day, of which 6,000-7,000 t/day come from the city. Cited only to fix the destination and the jurisdictional boundary; CEAMSE's landfills are outside the city and are not part of this entry.

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
