Collection of municipal waste
NEW used kitchen oil collection points: List of containers and guidelines for their depositing.
Due to the touristic nature of the municipality, the concentration of economic activity around its services in the summer months, generating specific requirements in the form of organization and the provision of collection services.
These requirements are:
- to minimize heavy traffic in tourist areas
- to adapt the collection schedules in relation to leisure and rest times
- to eliminate visual pollution and smells in summer
- to increase the collection frequencies of the five fractions (packaging, paper and cardboard, glass, organic and waste)
- to guarantee the technical and economic sustainability of the service.
To respond to these demands, the Municipal Ordinance draws a model based on the selective collection of large producers (hotels, marinas, supermarkets) inside their facilities; in the delimitation of Zones P (first lines) with selective collection/recycling collection as a complementary offer, at a determined time; with collection in residential areas through differentiated containers on public roads.
