Marbella Transforms the Trash Bins of the Old Town into Art

The Marbella City Council, through the Trade Department and the Western District, will install fifty decorative trash cans transformed into urban art in the old town of Marbella. The initiative, part of the Tourism Plan for Large Cities of Andalusia, "helps to continue improving the aesthetics of the most central streets with the highest influx of visitors in the municipality," highlighted Alejandro González, the councilor of the Western District.

Additionally, this action complements the recent initiative regarding the placement of decorative canvases at various locations in the historic center, especially on unused plots and estates, to transform degraded spaces into visually attractive spots.

"The placement of the trash cans, painted by local artist Ana Ortiz, will be carried out in some new locations and in others, replacing units previously installed that have deteriorated over time," González stated.

The councilor noted that this furniture has a capacity of 40 liters and is made with materials resistant to weather conditions and the coastal saline environment, just like the paints used that depict characteristic images of the municipality. Meanwhile, Carmina Serrano, the Trade Advisor, emphasized that this initiative "helps to continue boosting the commercial and tourist activity of this emblematic place in Marbella."
