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.
Not documented yet. This operator has not published what happens to each kind of item, and we have not been able to establish it from anywhere else. That is the gap, stated rather than hidden. If you ask them, 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.

What happens to it

This describes the route the item takes, as the operator states it. We do not claim a recovery rate we have not seen evidence for.
What readers told us
Used them recently?
How long you waited, what they refused, whether anyone picked up the phone. Those are the three facts no website publishes and the ones the next reader needs.
