What you need

Steps

  1. Daily rubbish
    Do not leave waste on the street or next to the containers; the council says this can be fined. Fold cardboard boxes. In neighborhoods with pneumatic chutes, use bags of 10-15 liters only.
  2. Bulky items
    Call 944 370 838 for the free pickup of furniture, appliances and bulky items. You are then told the day and time to put them next to your building’s door.
  3. Garbigune
    The Garbigune La Florida con Resurrección Mª de Azkue serves Barakaldo and Alonsotegi. It takes rubble, wood, furniture, appliances, electronics, oils, batteries and garden waste, among others; tires, maximum 5 per user. Weekday hours (Garbiker): Monday to Friday 9:00-13:25 and 15:30-18:00.
