Residents of Sant Just Desvern can achieve a discount of up to 14% on their Metropolitan Waste Treatment Tax (TMTR) by frequently using the local recycling centers throughout the year.

The incentive program, managed by the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB), is applied directly to the water bill. Starting from the second annual visit to the recycling points, each access provides a 1% discount on the annual fee, reaching the maximum benefit after 15 visits.
To access these savings, citizens must hold a recycling center user card, which can be requested via an online form on the AMB website. The reduction is calculated based on the total annual tax and is typically reflected in the bills issued during the second half of the year.
This initiative aims to encourage responsible resource management and sustainable waste disposal. By using these facilities, residents ensure that waste is correctly separated and treated, which benefits the environment and optimizes municipal services.
