Our local municipality of Capannori has one of the highest recycling rates in Europe
You need to sort the rubbish and there is a different collection every day apart from Sunday. Each class of rubbish needs to be put out on the kerbside in the correct bag or box.
The types of recycling/rubbish are:
- Multimareriale (plastic, cans, tins): yellow bag (was blue previously)
- Organico (food waste): brown box
- Rifiuto non riciclabile (non-recyclable rubbish): grey bag
- Vetro (glass): small blue box
- Pannolini (nappies): purple bag
- Carta e cartone (paper and cardboard): Large blue box (was white previously)
It’s best to keep the blue (glass) and brown (food waste) boxes outside the kitchen door.
If something goes wrong with collections or you need to get rid of something more substantial, the local recycling centre (stazione ecologica) is here. It is open from 8:30 till 12:00 every day except Sunday and public holidays.
Note: To get to the recycling centre, you take Via del Porto. The name of the road harks back to the times before Lago di Bientina was drained in the 1850’s when it led to a harbour on the lake shore.
