Waste collection and street cleaning of calpe
Urban solid waste collection and street cleaning in the municipality of Calpe, a service affecting some 30,000 residents. This is a pioneering contract in monitoring services through the Citizen Control Centre.
In addition, ACCIONA optimises tasks by incorporating side-loading lorries into its fleet, meaning that the staff can dedicate themselves to other services and increase frequency.
Before the municipality of Calpe started recycling, ACCIONA managed the switch from installed hydraulic containers with a non-divisible capacity of 4,000 litres at that time, to underground containers with a capacity of 12,000 litres or semi-underground containers with a capacity of 18,000 litres divisible into four parts (waste, cardboard, plastic containers and glass).
