Kripan City Hall to set up door-to-door organic waste collection

  • The town of Kripan, in Rioja Alavesa, will have a system of home collection of bio-waste for reuse. As you have explained, it is the "first Alavese municipality" that thus offers the collection of organic matter.

The City Council of Kripan and the Group of Laguardia-Rioja Alavesa have launched a "pilot" project for the collection of organic waste at home and the collection of rejection in closed containers. Thus, the collection buckets of organic matter, 130 "recycling kits" in total, the cards to open the container of the remaining fraction and the keys to access the composting point have been distributed to the neighbors.

As explained, these are "pioneering and innovative" measures in the region. Users will have to deposit the brown cube on their home portal on specific days and hours, and whoever is unable to do so will have the option of being a neighbor. The Crew had to modify the waste management ordinance to carry out the project: it forces the citizens to separate the bio-waste.

This system aims to selectively collect 85% of the waste generated to meet the recycling targets set by the European Union.

Door-to-door waste collection was first established by Usurbil more than a decade ago, and Bildu also implemented this system or its variants in eleven other municipalities, with a significant increase in selective collection. Now Kripan will become "the first Alavese municipality to offer a collection of organs at home", in which the PNV has taken over its municipal government.
