Door-to-door collection in Sant Andreu de Palomar
- All waste types are collected on a door-to-door basis except for glass, which must continue to be placed in street bins designated for this material.
- There are two different waste collection calendars. One is for households and small businesses in the northern area, and another is for those in the southern areas.
- There is also a commercial calendar, in which collections take place on a more frequent basis.
- There is also a roving vehicle which collects sanitary materials as well as other waste on an emergency basis.
- A web app has been created for the door-to-door system, enabling users to have all the information at hand. It also enables them to monitor their own participation in the scheme.
The implementation and communication campaign of the new waste collection model in Sant Andreu de Palomar has been financed by the European Union and the Government of Spain, with European Next Generation funds and within the framework of the Plan for recovery, transformation and Spanish resilience.
Household waste collection
Sant Andreu de Palomar’s selective door-to-door waste collection system is implemented every day following an established calendar and timetable.
The neighbourhood is divided into the northern area and the southern area. Each area has its own calendar. In both calendars there are four collection days: three days when two types of waste are collected at the same time, and Thursdays, when general waste is collected. This means that no rubbish is left in the streets on three days a week.

Com treure els residus
Els residus s’han de deixar davant del portal entre les 20 i les 22 hores seguint el calendari de recollida.
Cada fracció s’ha de treure ben separada i seguint les indicacions següents:
ORGÀNICA
On buildings with more than 20 homes, organic waste must be deposited in community organic mailboxes with access control; on buildings with less than 20 homes and single-family homes, organic waste must be disposed of in smart containers.
Es pot utilitzar qualsevol bossa, sempre que sigui compostable.
El cubell airejat que s’entrega amb el kit és per dipositar-hi els residus a la cuina i evitar la mala olor i els lixiviats.
RECICLABLES
Els reciclables són la fracció dels envasos ampliada. Hi pots dipositar, a més, qualsevol element de plàstic o metall. Consulta l’apartat Com hem de separar els residus. Els reciclables s’han de treure amb les bosses homologades de color groc que s’han lliurat amb el kit.
REBUIG
El rebuig, és a dir, tot allò que no es pot reciclar, s’ha d’aportar amb les bosses homologades de color gris.
PAPER I CARTRÓ
El paper i el cartró s’han d’aportar a granel, dins una bossa o caixa de cartró, o bé amb bujol comunitari, mai en bossa de plàstic.
Si a la vostra comunitat no en disposeu i voleu sol·licitar un bujol comunitari, adreceu-vos a l’Oficina del Porta a Porta.
VIDRE
El vidre s’ha de seguir dipositant als contenidors del carrer, com sempre sense taps ni xapes i mai en bossa de plàstic.
RESIDU D'HIGIENE ÍNTIMA
Si necessites aportar residus d'higiene íntima pots fer ús de la bústia per a residus d'higiene íntima que tinguis assignada. Per sol·licitar la teva clau d’accés, adreça't a l’Oficina del Porta a Porta.
MATERIALS AMB CODI
El cubell d’orgànica, les bosses de reciclables i les de rebuig porten un codi. La informació que facilita aquest codi només té efectes com a eina estadística i en cap moment es recullen dades personals de la ciutadania. En recollir els residus, es registra la lectura del codi i es comptabilitza com una participació. Es pot consultar la participació a la Web App del porta a porta. Consulta l’apartat La Web App del porta a porta
Recollida comercial
La recollida comercial té un sol calendari de recollida, amb més freqüència, per a totes les fraccions. Ambdós sectors, per tant, comparteixen calendari.
Els petits comerços han de seguir el calendari de recollida domèstica. Si ets un petit comerç i necessites alguna recollida addicional d’alguna de les fraccions, posa’t en contacte amb el servei del porta a porta comercial al 658.54.00.19 o adreça’t a l’Oficina del Porta a Porta.
Materials d’aportació
Pel que fa a les activitats econòmiques, es lliuren els materials d’aportació necessaris en cada cas en funció de les necessitats.
Atenció a establiments comercials
Per a qualsevol dubte o incidència, tens un tècnic específic a la teva disposició, amb qui et pots posar en contacte al 658.54.00.19.
Consulteu la Normativa de recollida de residus per a comerços i activitats econòmiques a l’apartat Recollida Comercial.

FAQs

The Zero Waste strategy in Sant Andreu de Palomar
In 2021, a door-to-door waste collection model was introduced in the Sant Andreu de Palomar neighbourhood, specifically in the area between Carrer Agustí and Milà, Carrer del Segre, Carrer Dublin, Carrer de Rovira i Virgili and Avinguda Meridiana.
This shift in waste collection model is down to Barcelona’s commitment to defining a strategy for tackling the climate crisis in a cross-cutting manner. This action plan entails, amongst other things, a shift to a consumption and waste model founded on shared responsibility.
It has been shown that there is a ceiling to the open bin street collection system and that, in order to improve selective collection results, it is necessary to implement individualised models that allow us to monitor participation and to reward those who separate their waste correctly. The door-to-door model is one of the systems that, for the time being, gives the best results and can be better adapted to the characteristics of each neighbourhood.
