Good advice

Bigastro has a Ecoparque located in the Enterprise Park Apatel where you can dump things like wood, prunings, paint, dissolvents, textiles, rubbish, tires, batteries, scrap iron, cables, light bulbs, aerosols, kitchen oil, glass, fluorescent tubes, medicines, etc.

The Ecoparque is open:
Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays: from 8:00am to 1:00pm.

The Town Hall are asking us to keep our town clean. They offer some advice to help us achieve this:


1. Always deposit your rubbish between 9pm and midnight in the communal bins.
2. Always use the wastebaskets for litter when you are out.
3. Separate and recycle waste: paper, glass and plastics.
4. If you have a dog, clean up its excrements.
5. If you smoke, put your extinguished cigarettes in a wastebasket.
6. Only dispose of large bagged items on TUESDAY nights.
7. If you want to get rid of special items, take them to the ECO-PARQUE
8. Keep the streets clean
9. and remember that the cleanest town is not the one which is cleaned the most but the one that is least soiled.

I particularly like number nine. When I taught at Anfield the children would often drop rubbish on the floor. When they were told to pick it up they would reply "that is the cleaner's job". I would quickly point out to them that the cleaner's job was to clean the room, not to pick up their rubbish!
