Green Point Network
Green Points are used to dispose of waste that cannot be deposited in the normal collection systems. When we dispose of waste in the various Green Points, we help to improve the recycling process and preserve the environment.
The city of Barcelona has a total of 134 Green Points, which are categorised as Area Green Points, Neighbourhood Green Points and Mobile Green Points.
Neighbourhood Green Points
Neighbourhood Green Points are environmental facilities that are smaller than the Area Green Points, and which are found within the urban plan of the city. They are designed to allow citizens to dispose of smaller amounts of household waste.
What can be taken there?
Clothing, footwear, ink cartridges, toners, electric and electronic devices, cooking oil, electric cables, small tyres, aerosols and sprays, car batteries, cosmetics, x-rays, batteries, engine oil, paints and varnishes, fluorescent tubes and light bulbs, single-use coffee capsules (plastic and aluminium) etc.
What can NOT be taken there?
Special industrial waste, toxic and hazardous waste, sanitary waste, organic waste, vegetable waste, rubble, furniture and junk and wood waste.
Mobile Green Points
Mobile Green Points are lorries that fulfil all the functions of a Neighbourhood Green Point. To bring this service closer to the citizens, these lorries are found in different parts of the city at certain times. Citizens can dispose of the same waste at Mobile Green Points as they can at Neighbourhood Green Points.

It can be requested from staff at the Green Points and is totally free.

- Both fees are included and are paid as part of the water bill.
