Some people on the island still don’t believe that the separated waste is actually processed separately.
A lot of rubbish still ends up in containers, in which it not only has no business, but also makes life unnecessarily difficult for those who take care of recycling.
Because that the waste will of course be recycled sorted, guarantees the island government.
Although Ibiza does not have its own facilities, the recyclables are shipped to centers on Mallorca and the mainland. There are numerous clearly marked separation containers available in Ibiza.
