How recycling in El Campello could knock up to €100 off your rubbish tax bill

El Campello residents can now earn tax discounts by recycling their waste, with the town introducing a new system that rewards environmentally conscious citizens and reduces financial strain on households. The initiative, a collaboration between Consorci Mare and local eco-parks, will provide discounts on annual rubbish taxes, or tasa de basuras, ranging from €5 to €100 based on the amount of waste recycled.

The system uses smart cards, mobile applications, or ID registration at eco-parks and waste containers to track contributions. Participants must consistently recycle materials like plastics, glass, paper, and organic waste to qualify for greater discounts. The eco-parks, located on specific days, accept a wide range of materials, including aerosols, filters, footwear, tires, electronics, and more.

This new approach demonstrates that sustainability and financial savings can coexist, setting a positive example for other coastal towns in Alicante.
