The Santa Margarida de Montbui City Council has launched a campaign to reinforce the bulky waste collection service, with environmental informers patrolling the Urban Centre until the end of December to detect bad practices and raise public awareness.

The main objective of this initiative is to reduce the abandonment of furniture, mattresses, and other large items in public spaces, while also promoting the use of the free, pre-arranged municipal collection service.
Environmental informers identify points where these abandonments occur and place informative notices. These remind citizens that leaving bulky waste in the street violates municipal regulations and can result in fines of up to 3,000 euros.
In parallel, citizens are informed about the operation of the free collection service, which requires prior arrangement. This aims to help residents understand the available options for correctly disposing of large items.
Through this campaign, the City Council intends to strengthen abandonment prevention, improve incident tracking, and promote citizen responsibility in maintaining public spaces.
The Santa Margarida de Montbui City Council reminds citizens that a free, pre-arranged bulky waste collection service is available. To use it, prior contact with the municipal service is necessary, followed by adherence to collection instructions. Neighborly cooperation and correct use of this service are essential to prevent waste accumulation in the streets and contribute to a cleaner, better-maintained municipality.
For more information about the service, you can call 617 592 490 or send an email to montbui.mediambient@montbui.cat.
