Rubbish tax grant

FINESTRAT Council has launched a municipal grant to help residents pay their rubbish collection tax.

The project is inspired by the concept of Marcel Duchamp’s readymades and emblematic works such as Andy Warhol’s Brillo Box and Campbell’s Soup, seeking to transform everyday objects into meaningful pieces of art.

The main objective of the workshops is to promote awareness, emotional exploration and reflection on waste generation.

Participation is free of charge but requires prior inscription by emailing leina.talleres@gmail.com, as places are limited.

The subsidy is aimed at residents aged over 65, pensioners, unemployed workers, large families and workers affected by temporary redundancy plans (ERTEs) who meet a series of eligibility criteria.

Recipients will be reimbursed for the full amount of the refuse collection bill, which currently stands at €105.

“It is a subsidy aimed at supporting all those people who find themselves in a difficult economic situation,” declared Finestrat mayor Juanfran Pérez Llorca.

Applications can be submitted in person at the Registro de Entrada department on the ground floor of the town hall, in the municipal office in La Cala (Avenida Marina Baixa, 29) or online through the town hall website www.finestrat.sedelectronica.es until July 15.

The grant is compatible with the IBI property tax subsidies of up to €300 that will be launched in October.

The group completed a course on equality.
