Frequent Questions - Recycling
Garden Waste

I have some (green) branches to throw away. Where can I take them?

You should contact your local council to arrange collection. If you have a way to transport the branches, you can deliver them free of charge to one of the recycling centres run by the company that manages urban waste in your area. However, if the quantity exceeds 2m3, you can contact Linha da Reciclagem, to expedite the request for delivery to the landfill with the company closest to your area of residence.

How should I package the branches (green) for delivery to the Ecocentro?

Branches should be tied with rope or appropriate string. All green waste that cannot be tied with rope or string, such as grass, hedge trimmings or other items, should be placed in plastic bags that are properly sealed to prevent them from scattering on the street. Once properly bagged, the material should be taken to the Ecocentro closest to your home that accepts this type of waste.
