This expansion brings the total number of these facilities to fifteen, bringing the recycling service closer to a greater number of residents and avoiding trips to the municipal eco-park. The new locations include Víctimas del Terrorismo Square, the surroundings of Santa Quitèria, Pitillo Park on the beach, Batalla de Bailén Street in the Boqueras area, San Pablo Street in Fátima, the confluence of Boqueras Street with 9 d'Octubre Street, and Sagrario Street in the Vila area.
“"With this action, the municipality responds to a neighborhood demand and continues to advance towards a more efficient, comfortable, and accessible waste management model for everyone."
The Councillor for Environment, Juan Luis Marín, highlighted that this initiative responds to a citizen demand and contributes to a more efficient and accessible waste management model. The main objective is to simplify the recycling process, removing obstacles and promoting more responsible environmental practices.
These clean points are designed for the collection of small and medium-sized household waste that cannot be deposited in conventional containers. Accepted materials include small appliances, batteries, kitchenware, coffee capsules, aerosols, and LED bulbs. One of the major advantages is their 24-hour availability, offering flexibility to users. Each point allows for the deposit of between two and four different types of waste, and their design integrates into the urban environment, also being accessible to people with reduced mobility.
The implementation of this pioneering network in the province of Castellón has received a subsidy of 93,448.81 euros from the Autonomous Secretariat for Environment and Territory, as part of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, funded by the European Union–NextGenerationEU. The total investment for this expansion amounts to 125,636.72 euros, consolidating Almassora's commitment to improving the quality of life for its residents and environmental protection.
