Selective collection in Vila de Rei reaches historic mark of 50.25 percent

Selective collection in Vila de Rei reached a historic rate of 50.25% on August 31, meaning more than half of the municipality's urban waste now has a sustainable destination through separation, collection and recycling. The result comes from the municipality's investments in expanding ecopoints, dedicated collection of biowaste and specific services for textile waste, oils and electronic equipment, complemented by environmental awareness campaigns among the population. The reduction in landfill disposal also translates into financial savings for the municipality through the decrease in disposal fees and the Waste Management Fee.
