Calpe chooses Acciona

SUSTAINABILITY, waste collection and management are hot topics everywhere, which is why Calpe carried out a thorough study to find the right supplier to perform important tasks in the municipality for the next nine years.

Acciona will provide the service for €38.7 million under a contract to take effect in March. The supplier was chosen after a tender procedure for urban waste removal, street cleaning and waste management that attracted five bids.

A committee of experts from outside the city council (except for one member) studied and assessed all the offers to make the best deci- sion for the town. Urban solid waste collection and street cleaning in the municipality of Calpe is a service affecting some 30,000 residents. The town uses underground containers with a capacity of 12,000 litres or semi-underground containers with a capacity of 18,000 litres divisible into four parts (waste, cardboard, plastic containers and glass).

Acciona has a long-standing relationship with Calpe that dates to 1994. The solutions provided by the company are strongly influenced by technology and innovation to increase efficiency in waste collection, transport and management
