♻️ Recycling in Spain

Understand the Spanish way of recycling - and start right away! Reduce - Reuse - Recycle!

Recycling is one of those things that change everywhere you go... even if we always know the difference between organic, plastic, paper, and glass, minor differences always apply, depending on where you are in the world!

For this, we have decided to provide you with a short explanation of how to separate your trash to recycle in Madrid and Valencia.

We make 6 separations:

  • Organic waste: brown bin
  • Non-organic waste: orange bin
  • Plastic packaging & metal packaging: yellow bin
  • Paper & cardboard: blue bin
  • Glass: green bin
  • Special waste & dangerous waste: punto limpio

Here you have the distribution of how we recycle at Urban Campus, and where should you take the different trash:
