LIPOR | Mobile Drop-off Sites collected 63 tonnes of recyclables in 2024

In 2024, Mobile Drop-off Sites traveled across 52 locations in LIPOR’s eight Associated Municipalities, collecting 63.8 tonnes of recyclables. The most collected items included electrical and electronic waste (44.4%), contaminated packaging (27.7%), ink cartridges and toners (10.1%), and non-packaging paper (8%). 

To ensure that recycling is tailored to the specific characteristics of each material, LIPOR developed this solution in collaboration with its Associated Municipalities, preventing recyclable materials from ending up in the mixed waste bin. Since January 2021, Mobile Drop-off Sites have been available to citizens, allowing them to properly recycle certain household waste they didn’t know how to dispose of.
