Mascota 'Vallineta' promoting recycling in front of the Vallirana Town Hall.

The Vallirana Town Hall has been recognized by the Local Governments' Best Practices Bank of Catalonia for its recycling campaign 'Join the Vallineta Gang' and its mascot.

The initiative 'Join the Vallineta Gang', promoted by the Vallirana Town Hall, has been selected as a best practice for its innovation and quality in promoting recycling. This recognition comes from the Local Governments' Best Practices Bank of Catalonia, an initiative by the Federation of Municipalities of Catalonia and the Carles Pi i Sunyer Foundation.
The project stands out for its innovative contribution and its potential as a benchmark experience for other municipalities and local entities. The campaign's main objective is to make recycling a daily and shared practice, linking environmental care with citizen participation and civic-mindedness.
The campaign uses the mascot Vallineta as a central element to bring environmental awareness closer to citizens, especially children and families, thereby fostering responsible habits in waste separation and management.
This marks the second consecutive year that a project from the Vallirana Town Hall has been included in the Best Practices Bank. The previous year, the municipality was recognized for its communication protocol in cases of emergencies or crisis situations, a tool designed to establish and coordinate municipal communication guidelines for such events.
