Águilas revamps rubbish collection service with new bins and trucks

600 new side-loading bins will be installed, many of which are adapted for residents with reduced mobility

With the aim of upgrading its waste collection service, Águilas Town Council has unveiled a comprehensive plan to install 600 new side-loading bins on streets throughout the municipality.

The user-friendly rubbish containers are equipped with Braille signage for visually impaired residents, and 10% of the bins have been adapted with handles to make them easier to open for individuals with reduced mobility.

The process of replacing the current containers will begin on Monday April 7 and will be carried out gradually, replacing entire collection routes at a time.

This initial phase is expected to be completed within two months, after which the deployment of 200 new organic waste containers will begin. These specialised bins will have brown lids and Braille signage, while 10% will have a pouring hole for easy food disposal.

To further improve the service, the council will introduce five state-of-the-art collection trucks with a 25m³ capacity and eight new staff members will also be hired, ensuring a more efficient service.

This modernisation initiative underscores Águilas Town Council's commitment to sustainability, accessibility and excellent service.
