Door-to-door
Barcelona’s action plan for tackling the climate emergency entails, amongst other things, a shift to a consumption and waste model based on shared responsibility. Door-to-door collection is one of the models that, for the time being, gives the best results in terms of selective waste collection. It also adapts better to the characteristics of each individual neighbourhood.
The door-to-door waste collection model consists of leaving waste separated into different waste types (organic waste, recyclables, paper and cardboard, general waste and glass) in front of the doorway on the day of collection, as stipulated by the collection schedule.
In Barcelona, following the trial in Sarrià, this system has been implemented in Sant Andreu de Palomar. There are also plans to implement it in other neighbourhoods, such as Horta and Sant Antoni, shortly.
