Dear neighbour:
It’s been 11 years since our municipality started with waste separate collection at the doorstep.
This system contributed to a significant increase in the recycling rates and the resulting
environmental benefits, thanks to the collaboration of everyone. Ajuntament de Búger, together
with Mancomunitat des Raiguer, wish to keep on betting on continuous improvement of the
separate collection, for this reason they are now starting a Pay-As-You-Throw System for the
collection of the residual waste (what is not recyclable) and this new system comes with this
information campaign.
We inform you that the 20th April 2017 included will start this new system for the residual waste
collection with the RED BAG. This means that the residual waste (what is not recyclable) can
only be disposed with the authorized RED BAG. It will also be compulsory to dispose the nappies
in the authorized WHITE BAGS that can be collected for free in the Ajuntament.
The RED BAG is a system that taxes the resident
for the excessive RESIDUAL WASTE generated.
This type of waste can only be disposed in the
Ajuntament authorized bags. The Ajuntament
facilitates a certain number of these bags for
free to every home address included in the fixed
waste tax. Every extra bag needed will have to
be acquired in the Ajuntament according to
need and this will constitute a variable waste
tax.
The WHITE BAG is also an authorized bag that
the Ajuntament facilitates for free once need
justified and registered. The resident can then
dispose the nappies and pet excrements (dogs
and cats) either at the doorstep the days that
the calendar establishes. No other waste can be
disposed in this bags.
Atention! In the “parc verd” residual waste and nappies will have to be disposed in the
authorized bags.
If you need further information or this one in other languages, please email
[email protected] or call Ajuntament de Búger 971 51 61 46 or the
Mancomunitat des Raiguer 971 87 04 09.
We count on your collaboration to altogether keep improving the separate collection of waste
in Búger.
