Mobile Drop-of-Site Collects Over 21 Tons of Waste in the First Half of 2025

In the first half of 2025, Mobile Drop-of-Site visited 41 locations in the Associated Municipalities, collecting a total of 21,760.45 kg of waste delivered by citizens—a figure that, in practical terms, is equivalent to the weight of two fully loaded garbage trucks.

This environmental initiative aims to facilitate the proper disposal of waste that often raises questions about its final destination. Light bulbs, batteries, electronic devices, cartridges, CDs and DVDs, among others, were collected sustainably, avoiding improper disposal and promoting the circular economy.

Details of materials collected:

• Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE): 8,550.01 kg
• Contaminated packaging: 5,983.75 kg
• Cartridges and toners: 2,617.2 kg
• Non-packaging paper: 1,548.5 kg
• Light bulbs: 1,611.5 kg
• Batteries: 1,140.89 kg
• Cork stoppers: 223.8 kg
• CDs and DVDs: 84.8 kg

The public's participation demonstrates growing environmental concern and a greater awareness of the need to separate and properly dispose of special waste. Mobile Drop-of-Sites have played a fundamental role in making this process more accessible, practical, and closer to the communities.

With these results, the Mobile Drop-of-Site continues its journey, with the same commitment and ambition to surpass the figures for the following semester, reinforcing the role of citizens in building a more sustainable future. The success of this initiative shows that living according to the LIPOR Lifestyle is possible and within everyone's reach. Mobile Drop-of-Sites are, therefore, more than collection points—they are spaces for active citizenship and a commitment to a more balanced and responsible future.

The Mobile Drop-of-Site will continue to circulate, raising awareness, and collecting waste, because change begins at home, but it doesn't stop there. It starts with us, in our community.

Adopt the LIPOR Lifestyle. Dispose of your waste properly.
