This initiative, focused on promoting the circular economy and reducing landfill waste, requires citizen collaboration. On Monday nights, participating residents must place the bin outside their home for the concessionary company to empty on Tuesdays. Afterwards, the bin should be stored back inside the property.
All collected waste is transported for subsequent recycling, thus preventing it from ending up in landfills and promoting resource utilization. The Councillor for Environment, Cándido Carrillo, explains the operation's functioning in a video available on the municipal website.
It is reminded that these containers are exclusively for pruning waste, grass, leaves, and domestic gardening. Depositing soil, stones, debris, animal waste, non-compostable plastic bags, ropes, pots, professional or commercial gardening waste, or ashes is not permitted.
Homes with gardens that do not yet have a plant waste bin can request one free of charge through the municipal Electronic Office or in person at the City Council's Citizen Attention Office.
