Seville to Renew All Containers to Achieve "a Unified Image" and "Improve Accessibility"
The mayor of Seville, José Luis Sanz, has presented at a press conference the new container model that will be gradually implemented throughout the city. In order to change and unify Seville’s image, a single container model will be installed: the OVAL side-loading model from CONTENUR.
The City Council will begin replacing more than 12,000 containers after Easter, starting in neighborhoods with the widest variety of container models. The first OVAL containers will be installed in the Pino Montano area, from Pino Flores to Las Estrellas, and will later be expanded to the rest of the city, including Heliópolis and Los Bermejales.
The containers will have a capacity of 3,000 liters for MSW (Municipal Solid Waste), packaging, paper, cardboard, and organic waste, and 2,000 liters for glass recycling. The OVAL container fully integrates into urban environments, is easy to use, and has a height that does not obstruct visibility. It is fully accessible, a feature that citizens have been demanding for several years.
For general and organic waste recycling, the containers have been equipped with a large-format opening, an accessory that prevents direct contact with the container, as users will not need to activate any opening mechanism. With this initiative, Lipasam aims to prevent littering and the accumulation of waste bags around containers.
Replacement of Waste Bins
As part of this same effort to improve the city’s image, a €378,000 contract has been awarded for the next four years to replace 2,700 deteriorated litter bins in various city neighborhoods. The OMEGA litter bin range has been selected, featuring a sleek design with smooth shapes and simplified lines, intended for modern and renovated urban environments.
