The Vilafranca del Penedès Town Council and the Penedès Garraf Commonwealth have scheduled April 20 as the official start date for the city's new waste management model.

The implementation will follow a neighborhood-by-neighborhood schedule, starting in les Clotes. The Center district will be the final phase in June. Residents will receive electronic key fobs to operate the new smart metallic containers designed to prevent vandalism.
A specific door-to-door collection service for businesses will also be launched simultaneously to prevent the overflow of residential bins in the Alt Penedès capital.
