The city of Barcelona established Green point areas where individuals and businesses operating in the commercial and services sectors can get rid of waste that can’t be thrown into street containers. By using this service citizens contribute to improve the recycling process and help preserving the environment. The Green points can be large environmental facilities located on the outskirts of the city, or smaller and located within the urban area.

A Green point allows to collect: flat glass, large appliances, gardening and pruning waste, debris, junk and old furniture, clothes, shoes, ink cartridges, toners, electrical and electronic devices, cooking oil, electric cables, small tires, aerosols and sprays, car batteries, cosmetics, radiographs, batteries, motor oil, paints and varnishes, fluorescent light bulbs, coffee capsules (plastic and aluminum), etc.
