    Description

    Hola! Mi nombre es Tomás y tengo un proyecto de gestión de residuos orgánicos en Pichilemu. Principalmente mi trabajo es ir en el camión a buscar los residuos orgánicos de casas y restaurantes suscritos y llevarlos ya sea al campo para alimentar animales o a una pequeña planta de compostaje que tenemos en la zona.
    Vivo pasos caminando del mar y tengo una pieza disponible en mi casa. Lo que me gustaría, es que llegue alguien que ojalás sepa de compostaje. La tarea de la persona que llegue sería acompañarme en la ruta, alrededor de 2 días a la semana y son unas 5 hrs por día. Otros días habrán alguna que otra tarea por hacer.

    En mis tiempos libres surfiamos con amigos, pescamos en kayak, buceamos, y hacemos distintos paseos por la zona. Además, siempre hay lugares para salir a divertirse, prender fuego, acampar, etc.

    Hello! My name is Tomás and I have an organic waste management project in Pichilemu. My job mainly involves driving a lorry to collect organic waste from participating households and restaurants and taking it either to the countryside to feed animals or to a small composting plant we have in the area.
    I live a few steps from the sea and have a spare room in my house. I would like someone to come who hopefully knows about composting. The person who comes would accompany me on the route, about two days a week for about five hours a day. On other days, there will be other tasks to do.

    In my free time, we surf with friends, go fishing in kayaks, dive, and go on various trips in the area. In addition, there are always places to go out and have fun, light a fire, camp, etc.

    Cuando salgo en el camión, acompañarme en la ruta. Subo los contenedores con una rampa, asi que la idea sería que me ayuden a que, mientras traigo el contenedor, en camión este preparado con la rampa ya lista para subir el contenedor.
    Es un emprendimiento, por lo que está en constante cambio y cualquier aporte es bienvenido.
    Otra tarea es, al llegar a la planta de compostaje, vaciar los baldes y lavar estos. Además de ir armando las pilas.

    When I leave in the lorry, accompany me on the route. I load the containers using a ramp, so the idea would be for you to help me so that, while I bring the container, the lorry is ready with the ramp in place to load the container.
    It is a start-up, so it is constantly changing and any contribution is welcome.
    Another task is, upon arrival at the composting plant, to empty the bins and wash them. In addition to stacking the piles.

    Vivo en una pequeña casa de madera acogedora. Hay 1 baño, chimenea, buen internet, espacio afuera para prender la parrilla y hacer fuego. Tengo algunos instrumentos. El baño es amplio y cómodo.
    Ofrezco una pieza con 2 camas, pero prefiero tener solo una persona en la casa.

    Caminando está todo cerca: supermercado, colectivos/taxis, el mar a solo pases.

    I live in a cosy little wooden house. There is one bathroom, a fireplace, good internet, and outdoor space for barbecuing and making a fire. I have some musical instruments. The bathroom is spacious and comfortable.
    I offer a room with two beds, but I prefer to have only one person in the house.
