Elche implements door-to-door industrial waste collection

The Elche City Council, through the cleaning company UTE Elche, has launched a new door-to-door selective collection service for non-hazardous industrial waste. The initiative begins in the Elche Parque Empresarial and will progressively expand to other industrial estates in the municipality.

The program aims to increase recycling rates and reduce the volume of industrial waste in general refuse containers by providing individualized containers for paper, cardboard, and plastics to each participating company. These containers are electronically identified for exclusive use.

In the Parque Empresarial, paper and cardboard collection is scheduled during nighttime hours from 23:00 to 06:00, twice a week. Plastic collection is scheduled between 14:00 and 21:00, once a week. All collected materials are transported to authorized managers for specialized treatment.
