Disposing of waste in Palermo without “door to door” service

Last Updated: December 2, 2023

In Palermo, mobile collection points have been set up in neighborhoods where door-to-door waste collection is not available. These collection points are used for separating organic waste, glass, plastic, and paper. Users must separate their waste and dispose of it in the appropriate colored containers. Clothing, used clothing accessories, and toys can also be disposed of at these points. Failure to follow the rules can result in fines, which have recently been increased due to a new law. The collection points are regularly monitored by rap personnel, and users can report any issues or request a change in the location of the collection points. Regular waste is disposed of in traditional street bins during specific time slots. Properly flattening plastic bottles and minimizing the air inside can facilitate the recycling process.
