Door-to-door instead of containers: Sóller trials doorstep waste collection — a reality check

Answer

Is doorstep waste collection in Sóller practical for older residents?

That is one of the main concerns. In the old town, many people live in houses with stairs or difficult access, so carrying bags to the street can be harder than using a nearby container. The system will only work well if there are sensible exceptions or support for people with limited mobility.
