According to data from the Catalan Waste Agency, Premià de Mar ranks among the top 10 municipalities in the Maresme region for selective collection. This percentage is 3.71 points above the European target and just 1.29 points away from the 60% value set for 2030.
The town has also managed to reduce the amount of waste deposited in the residual fraction by 7.13%, a total of 355.20 tons less than the previous year. In total, 6,576.72 tons of waste were selectively collected in 2025, an increase of 2.46% compared to 2024. Selective collection per inhabitant rose from 221.90 kg/year to 224.09 kg/year.
These results place Premià de Mar 10.58 percentage points above the Catalan average for selective collection, which was 48.13% in 2025. The reduction in residual waste, the most costly and polluting fraction, is particularly significant and reflects a positive trend in waste separation within the municipality.
By fraction, organic matter stands out (1,851.14 tons), followed by light packaging (1,253.24 tons), bulky waste and wood (990.97 tons), paper and cardboard (893.05 tons), and glass (645.33 tons).
The City Council reminds residents of the importance of continuing to use collection systems correctly and separating waste properly to advance towards more sustainable resource management.
