Resumo: The hosting organization is a non-profit association, with more than 25 years of experience in the Region and registered as a Social Services Center. We belong to the international Emmaus movement, which is present in 41 countries and brings together some 425 groups worldwide. Since its establishment in Murcia, it has developed the activity of collection, reuse and recycling of objects and materials from the garbage, being pioneers and specialists in the door-to-door household collection of bulky goods, in the management focused on the preparation for reuse and in the sale of second-hand items recovered.
