Andratx recycling rate reaches 60 per cent
Andratx, Mallorca, has recorded a recycling rate of 60 per cent three months after introducing door-to-door waste collection. The Andratx Town Council announced the result on 18 August 2026.
The council said the figure showed the new collection system was delivering results, supported by residents’ participation. It plans to maintain the progress, identify parts of the scheme that need adjustment and pursue higher recycling rates.
The local authority is also working towards a possible reduction in waste charges next year, linking this prospect to improved waste management results. Mayor Estefanía Gonzalvo thanked residents for their efforts during the first months of the scheme and said the council would continue to consider local feedback as the system is refined.
