ORGANIC WASTE

konpostagailu-komunitarioa
Organic waste is handled at public compost locations set up within town limits, as well as at smaller individual composters placed near the residences that have vegetable patches and gardens. The town also operates a door-to-door waste removal service. The image above shows a public composting area located in one of the town’s neighbourhoods.

DOOR-TO-DOOR PICK UP SYSTEM

RESIDENTS’ PARTICIPATION

Hondakinen-irudia
In Segura, a participative procedure was developed for the residents to evaluate the implemented system of waste removal and propose changes to improve it. The procedure allows time for reflection, proposals for improving the system, as well as decisions on the modifications of the system. The Town Hall acts in accordance with the decisions taken by the community.
