This week, the installation of new waste collection bins, designed with reinforced systems to deter vandalism and fight incivility, has been completed. This measure is accompanied by a reinforcement of the collection service and an increase in the cleaning frequency of the bin areas.
The new measures will come into effect during the final months of 2026. For 2027, modifications are planned for the waste collection service fee and the discount system to encourage correct use of the service. The annual fee per household is €177, divisible into €59 per quadrimestre. Discounts can reduce this by up to 50% (€88.5).
Discounts include 20% for using the collection card, an additional 10% for using the recycling center (physical or mobile) or the bulky waste collection service (provided the card requirement is met), and 20% for retirees, subject to application and income.
The Sallent Town Council, in collaboration with the Consorci del Bages, is committed to combating incivility through periodic inspections and identifying offenders by examining improperly disposed of bags.
The council calls for citizen responsibility to ensure correct use of the waste collection system, emphasizing the importance of recycling, respect, and coexistence for a clean and sustainable town.
