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

Answer

Why is Sóller replacing some containers with doorstep waste collection?

The main aim is to keep the historic centre tidier and reduce overflowing bins in busy streets and squares. In a town with narrow lanes and heavy foot traffic, containers can take up space and create practical problems. A doorstep system is meant to make waste collection more controlled, but it also depends on clear routines.
