Overview
- Residents must separate refuse into green for organics, gray for recyclable inorganics, and orange for non‑recyclable inorganics in line with published standards.
- Collection runs on a fixed schedule: organics on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with recyclable and non‑recyclable inorganics on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays in separate bags.
- There are no monetary fines at launch, but collection teams have orders not to pick up misclassified loads as authorities roll out public information campaigns in early 2026.
- Sharps and expired medicines must be taken to authorized health facilities or pharmacies, while electronic waste goes through Reciclatrón drives or permanent drop‑off points.
- City leaders target at least 50% of waste transformed or recycled by 2030, AGIR reports only about 15% is currently separated and aims to recover up to 75%, and details on new collection trucks are expected Jan. 6.
