Tips

• The official Ecoparque (fixed site) locations and hours are: Avenida de Elche Nº161, and Calle Barítono Paco Latorre (in front of the municipal field 'Antonio Solana'); both open Monday–Friday 09:00–20:00 and Saturday 09:00–14:00 (no Sunday/holiday hours stated). The separate Ecopunto móvil (mobile collection points that rotate daily by neighborhood) weekly calendar is NOT on alicante.es itself — the official Ecoparque y Ecopuntos page links out to tuhacesalicante.com for the current mobile schedule, which was not checked.
