Located in the Urtinsa I Industrial Park, the facility has undergone a thorough overhaul, including the renovation of the discharge pits, with demolition, excavation, optimization of drainage systems, and pavement replacement. Additionally, a complete painting job was carried out to align the space with the corporate image of the Alcorcón City Council.
