Starting December 1st, Jafre will introduce door-to-door waste collection, a measure aimed at creating a cleaner and more sustainable town. In 2025, the municipality separated 37.1% of its waste, falling short of the European Union's 2030 targets of 60% recycling.
Under this new model, street containers will be removed. Residents will be required to separate waste at home and place it outside their doors according to a set schedule. Each household will receive two bins: a brown bin for organic waste and residual waste, and a grey multi-fraction bin for light packaging, paper, cardboard, and glass.
The goal is to increase recycling rates and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill. The City Council will support residents through this change in habits.
An informational meeting about the new system will be held at the Local Social on November 19th.
