Mobile platforms

This innovative system is based on the selective collection of waste through mobile platforms with bins for the 5 different types of waste (organic, packaging, paper and cardboard, glass and general waste).

Every waste collection day, platforms with designated bins are installed in different neighbourhoods so that citizens can go and deposit their waste within the established time frames.

Once the designated waste collection time is up, these mobile platforms are withdrawn until the next established time.

Bon Pastor is the city’s first neighbourhood to use the mobile platform system.

Waste collection using mobile platforms in the Bon Pastor neighbourhood

The Bon Pastor neighbourhood - more specifically, the area between Carrer del Foc Collet, Passeig d’Enric Sanchis, Carrer de Sant Adrià and Carrer de la Formiga - is the first area in Barcelona with a selective waste collection model based on the use of mobile platforms.

Every waste collection day, platforms with designated bins are installed in different neighbourhoods so that citizens can go and deposit their waste within the established time frames.
