This initiative, driven by the regional public company Arcgisa (Agua y Residuos del Campo de Gibraltar S.A.), aims to strengthen the town's commitment to the circular economy and environmental impact reduction. The deployment of these containers is being carried out progressively, adapting to the specific characteristics of each population center.
Currently, the service implementation is 100% complete in the urban center of Los Barrios and in Ciudad Jardín. In other areas such as Palmones, Los Cortijillos, Guadacorte, and Vega del Golf, the process is still underway, while in Puente Romano, it is pending commencement. In the main urban core, only three locations remain to be completed due to logistical constraints, which are actively being addressed.
The collection of organic waste began on March 30, 2026, marking a milestone in improving the municipality's waste management system. Arcgisa reported that installation work was temporarily halted during Holy Week to reinforce the bulky waste collection service but has now resumed normally.
“"The excellent joint work carried out by municipal and regional technicians, whose coordination is key to the successful development of the project."
This action facilitates the correct separation of organic waste at the source by citizens, which will contribute to increasing recycling rates and minimizing the municipality's ecological footprint.
