Estepona will reduce the garbage fee for those who dispose of waste at the clean point

The Estepona City Council has opened the application period for residents who recycled at the clean point during the past year 2025 to request a 3% discount on their garbage tax, after proving at least three deliveries per year of waste to these facilities, as reported by the City Council.

"This initiative is part of the municipal fiscal relief policy and aims to mitigate the impact of the tax increase resulting from Law 7/2022 of the central government, which requires citizens to bear the cost of collection, treatment, and incineration of waste. At the same time, the City Council seeks to encourage recycling and strengthen environmental protection," municipal sources say.

Thus, the discount applies to those who have used the clean point at least three times in 2025, for waste for which there are no containers on public roads, such as mattresses, electrical and electronic devices, x-rays, oils, among others, furniture, large volume glass, etc. "To opt for the reduction, it is essential to keep the receipts issued at the clean point after each deposit," they explain.

Those interested in availing of this discount have until the end of March to submit their application, either in person by appointment at the offices of the Provincial Revenue Board of Málaga or electronically through the electronic office of the entity.

The clean point in Estepona is located on Pinsapo Street, on the way up to Los Reales, and aims to collect and manage waste that cannot be treated by conventional garbage services. "This prevents uncontrolled dumping, ensures specialized treatment of hazardous waste, and promotes public awareness of the importance of environmental care," explain the City Council officials.

Lastly, they encourage the public to consider that "deposits made at the Estepona clean point throughout 2026 will allow for the application for the corresponding discount on the garbage tax bill for the next year 2027."
