The emptying frequency of paper and cardboard containers in Velilla de San Antonio has quadrupled, increasing from the current two monthly collections to a total of eight collections per month (two per week). This measure aims to enhance the care of the urban environment and promote recycling.
The initiative, with an annual investment of approximately 50,000 euros, establishes a reinforced schedule with collections every Monday and a second collection day on Thursdays or Fridays, adapting to the volume of waste generated.
The mayor of Velilla de San Antonio, Antonia Alcázar, highlighted that this service expansion responds to the civic-mindedness of the residents and the government team's commitment to providing the municipality with the best possible public services, ensuring a well-maintained environment and clean streets.
This increase in collection frequency, driven by citizen involvement in recycling, not only supports the environment but also improves street cleaning, hygiene, and the aesthetic appearance of the municipality.
Furthermore, the optimization of the service provides significant operational support for local businesses, which typically generate a higher volume of packaging, reinforcing the commitment to sustainability and the circular economy by facilitating more convenient and efficient recycling.
