The new clean point will have specific containers for waste such as oils, appliances, batteries, and rubble. It will be equipped with an access control system using a citizen card, which will allow usage to be recorded and collection routes to be optimized. The infrastructure has been designed to minimize environmental impact, with solar panels for its energy self-sufficiency and a rainwater treatment system. Residents will be able to deposit up to 20 types of waste.

Finally, you can get rid of that lava lamp you bought in 2003 and swore was cool, or the 17 phone chargers you don't know which device they belong to. The city council trusts that, upon seeing the appropriate container, citizens will feel a sudden ecological calling. Or at least, that they will stop throwing batteries in the brown bin as if it were a game of chance.
