  "account": "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.
