At 10 o'clock on September 10th 1996, 200.000 cubic metres of rubbish and trash from the Bens landfill collapsed and buried O Portiño leaving a horrible smell through the city, which would last for months and killing a 58-year-old man Joaquín Serantes López, who was washing his car nearby. His body was never found.
That ecological disaster radically changed the treatment of rubbish in our city. City rubbish has since then been treated at rubbish recycling plant in Nostián and the place where the landfill has become a green park of 300.000 square metres.
