Recogida programada de muebles por distrito
A fixed monthly collection day for every street. No phone call, no booking. Put the furniture out between 9 and 11 at night on your day, and it goes.
Right for you if
- You can wait for your street's day, and you can get it down to the pavement yourself.
- It has to cost nothing.
- You cannot move it yourself. They come and collect.
Look elsewhere if
- It is one small thing you could drop off yourself.
- It is business waste.
- It is more than a household quantity.

Why use it
This is not the same service as ringing 010, and the difference is worth understanding. There is nothing to book: each street has a day of the month, and you simply put things out between 21:00 and 23:00 that evening, on the pavement as close to the containers as possible without blocking anyone. You carry it down yourself. The cap is under three cubic metres and a maximum of six items, sofas, doors, furniture, chairs, boxes and wooden battens, blinds and small appliances, though not loose sheets of glass. Fridges and air conditioning units with CFCs are better taken to a punto limpio. One hard exclusion: anything infested with bedbugs or other parasites must NOT go out this way, that needs SELUR, booked through 010, and wrapped in plastic. Leaving furniture out on any other day is a fineable offence under the city's cleaning ordinance.

Where your things go
A named destination is worth more than a stated intention, and both are worth more than silence. This is the row to read before you book: if your item's row is empty, ask them on the phone and tell us what they say.

Does it actually work
The part no company website tells you. Some of this comes from our checks, some from readers who used the service, and where nobody has told us yet, it says so.

Booking
Their pages
No booking. Fixed monthly day per street; look yours up in the district PDF or the Geoportal viewer.

Typical wait
Their pages
Up to one month. The collection runs once a month per neighbourhood.
-
Do they answer
Their pages
Yes, 010, but named on this page only as the channel for requesting removal of parasite-infested items, not for the scheduled service itself.
-
Restrictions
Their pages
Put items out only between 21:00 and 23:00 on your street's day ("entre las 21 y 23 horas del día especificado", same page). Under 3 cubic metres, max 6 items. Loose glass sheets refused. Parasite-infested items refused entirely on this service.

Who it's for
Needs reports
Residents of the area it covers, households, not businesses.
The page never says who may use it beyond implying street-level residents. Settle by asking 010 whether shops and offices on a scheduled street may use the same monthly slot, or by checking the Ordenanza.
