Waste disposal — Punt Verd / deixalleria network in Sant Cugat del Vallès

Sant Cugat operates two main Punts Verds (recycling centers) plus smaller drop-off points (Minipunt Verd, Punt Verd Mòbil, Ambiteca, and about 60 "minideixalleries") for household waste not covered by standard color-coded curbside bins.

Why it matters

• A new waste collection and transport fee, and a new collection/cleaning service, both started in 2025 — check the city’s dedicated fee page for current details
• Bulky items (voluminosos) have their own separate collection/drop-off process
