The political party Junts per la Terra Alta has advocated for a new waste management model led directly by the region to improve service efficiency and control rising costs for local residents.

The current system, shared with Priorat and Ribera d'Ebre, is described by the party as increasingly expensive and poorly adapted to the reality of small towns in the Terra Alta district. They argue that a more localized approach would optimize resources.

"Terra Alta must lead its own waste management model to avoid passing the economic burden onto the citizens."

Specific issues such as the collection of bulky waste were highlighted as major failings of the current regional contract, often forcing local councils to use their own funds to complete the task. The proposal aims for a more sustainable and economically viable future for the region.
