The municipality of in is part of the Mancomunitat des . The recycling collection of waste is organized together with eight other municipalities: Alaró, Binissalem, Búger, , , , and Santa Maria del Camí.

A weekly doorstep recycling collection started more than 10 years ago, in which according to a weekly calendar, each household disposes of 5 different waste fractions (organics, light packaging, glass, paper/cardboard as well as non-recyclable residual waste) on the street in front of its door. There are containers in each Village so the rural households (outside the villages of Selva, Moscari, Caimari and Biniamar) can deposit their different types of waste.

Attention, if you live in Binibona Village there ask for the specific weekly recycling calendar.
