The Casarrubuelos Town Hall has installed new brown bins for the collection of biodegradable organic waste, co-funded by the Community of Madrid and European funds.
Residents of Casarrubuelos can now separate their organic waste in the new brown bins, which the Town Hall has launched to promote recycling and reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills. The project is co-funded by the Ministry of Environment, Housing and Agriculture of the Community of Madrid, through European funds, and by the Town Hall itself.
In these bins, you can deposit fruit and vegetable scraps, meat and fish, eggshells, seafood and nuts, used tea bags and coffee grounds, soiled napkins and kitchen paper stained with food or oil, as well as small domestic gardening waste. The aim is for this waste to be used to produce compost or biogas, thus avoiding pollution and emissions associated with landfill treatment.
Using the bin is simple: identify the waste, open the top lid with the handle or pedal, and deposit it correctly. The brown bin is made of galvanised steel, which provides resistance to impacts, weather conditions, and intensive use, as well as facilitating hygiene and safety during use.
The Casarrubuelos Town Hall encourages residents to incorporate the separation of organic waste into their daily habits. “Small gestures, big changes. Recycle nearby, care for Casarrubuelos”, they state in their outreach campaign.
Additionally, the municipality maintains an active free bulky waste and pruning collection service. To use it, it is necessary to request it in advance at the Town Hall through a general application, at least one day in advance. Collection takes place on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and the items or plant waste should be left outside or in the courtyard of the home to facilitate their removal.
With these actions, the Casarrubuelos Town Hall continues to move towards a cleaner and more sustainable municipality, enabling each resident to contribute to recycling with small gestures that create a significant collective impact. For more information, the Town Hall has published an informative leaflet about the new brown bins on its website.
