Valoriza Servicios Medioambientales, Sacyr’s municipal services company, is improving street cleaning and waste collection in Horta-Guinardó and Nou Barris districts to make Barcelona feel more like Barcelona.
Valoriza began providing this service in Barcelona in September 2022 and has made improvements since day one. 100 new staff members have joined, bringing the total number of professionals to 730, creating a committed team that prioritizes the quality of life in the two districts, which are home to nearly 340,000 people.
The company is in the process of incorporating new vehicles to make the largest electric vehicle fleet in Spain.
The service will have 23% more vehicles in waste collection and street cleaning services, with 229 of them (65% of the fleet) mostly powered by electricity.
Greater involvement
Moreover, we are working to make a more participative, citizen-focused service with open communication channels to keep Barcelona clean.
We have incorporated five environmental observers to help raise awareness about commercial waste collection and develop awareness campaigns.
