Caudete launches twenty-five larger and more functional surface containers

Published on June 27, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The City Council of Caudete, in collaboration with the Provincial Council of Albacete, has installed 25 new larger-capacity surface containers. The measure aims to optimize waste collection and prevent the usual overflows that affected certain areas of the municipality. Residents will notice cleaner streets and a more efficient service.

Greater capacity and efficiency in waste collection ♻️

The new containers feature a larger design that allows storing a greater volume of waste before needing emptying. This reduces the frequency of overflows and associated bad odors. The municipal investment, supported by the Provincial Council, is part of a plan to modernize the street cleaning system. Workers also benefit from easier and faster loading during collection routes.

Goodbye to mountains of bags next to the container 🗑️

Until now, some residents believed the ground around the container was an authorized dump. With these new plastic giants, they might stop piling up bags forming modern sculptures. The hope is that the next step won't be to install signs with instructions for throwing trash inside. Meanwhile, seagulls and stray dogs will have to look elsewhere for their nightly feast.
