Road cleaning and solid urban waste collection

Sacyr, through its environmental services subsidiary, Valoriza Servicios Medioambientales, has been awarded a contract for the collection and transport of solid urban waste (waste fraction and organic) and separated waste (glass, lightweight packaging, paper and carton), as well as for cleaning the roads and municipal beaches of Ibiza during a term of 10 years and for the amount of 74.6 million euros.

Valoriza Servicios Medioambientales will handle a population of nearly 50,000 registered inhabitants, with considerable floating population increases in the summer

Road cleaning will be highly mechanized, and the use of pressurized water cleaning will be increased. In addition, a service with differentiated schedules has been designed, depending on the season of the year and the characteristics of each municipal area, thereby optimising and improving the efficiency of the required resources.

For waste collection, Valoriza Servicios Medioambientales proposes a system that will maximize separated collection, therefore bringing containers for lightweight packaging, paper and glass closer to citizens and implementing specific routes for businesses and hotel and restaurant establishments. Furthermore, Valoriza will renovate all waste containers and will implement models that have a cutting-edge design and are accessible by the disabled.

Finally, Valoriza will place an extensive fleet of vehicles at the city's disposal, equipped with the latest technological advances and powered by clean energies (electric, biodiesel and compressed natural gas). There will also be a high level of self-control over the service, supported by a Smart system that allows real-time measurement of parameters such as the fill level of containers, the activity of the material resources being used, the locations of all vehicles and route tracking, among other parameters, thereby facilitating the management of all work, an analysis of the results, continuous improvement and quick solutions for any incidents.

With this new awarded contract, Valoriza Servicios Medioambientales gains strength in the solid urban waste collection and road cleaning services which suppose a portfolio amounting to €3.6 billion, with contracts in Madrid, Majadahonda (Madrid), Alcalá de Henares (Madrid), Leganés (Madrid), San Fernando de Henares (Madrid), Coslada (Madrid), Toledo, Albacete, Guadalajara, Ibiza, Cádiz, Soria, San Cugat del Vallés (Barcelona), Lleida, Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife), Arona (Tenerife), Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona), Plasencia (Cáceres), Miranda de Ebro (Burgos), Haro (La Rioja) y Baza (Granada), amongst other places.
