New Recycling Bins in Freginals

I am sure you have noticed the building work going on in the village around the big green wheelie bin locations. In line with European policy the Catalan Government are installing recycling bins throughout all areas of Catalonia. These will shortly come into use in the village.

The bins are available for plastics, paper, cardboard, glass and metal. But certain requirements of your recycleable waste is required before they can be placed in the bins.

Plastics, must have the labels removed, be washed and crushed
Metal cans, must have the label removed, be washed and crushed
Glass, must have the label removed and be washed
But I would not recommend washing the newspaper as it gets soggy

I understand that some small green wheelie bins will still be available for non recycleable waste.

A meeting will be held at the Ajuntament once the bins are operational to show how packaging can be prepared for the recycle bins, and a leaflet will be produced in English if you are unsure how to recycle.
