Ensuring the cleanliness of our cities, day by day
Every day, Urbaser puts into circulation a huge network of people, equipment and technologies for optimum collection of solid urban waste.
In its waste collection activities, Urbaser disposes of the different fractions generated by citizens:
- Solid urban waste.
- Selective organic collection.
- Containers, packaging, wrappers.
- Glass, cardboard.
- Household goods and furniture.
- Garden and pruning waste.
- Construction and demolition waste.
Committed to innovation
Urbaser works with all existing technologies and is constantly researching to develop new ones. Our R&D policy involves a constant search to provide service in a more efficient, more sustainable, smarter way. We innovate to continue improving people’s quality of life, putting at their service more than 25 years of experience in more than 25 countries, whether beneath the Eiffel Tower or in the middle of the desert in the Persian Gulf region, in Madrid’s Plaza Mayor or in the Plaza del Papagayo in Lanzarote.
Our main initiatives in the area of innovation include the following:
- Inclusion of electric, hybrid and gas-powered vehicles in our fleet, with the consequent improvement of air quality and noise levels, or small vehicles better suited for working in historic city centres.
- Implementation of the latest advances in management software, increasing the quality of services provided.
- Implementation of innovative ideas that will improve services, proposed by our own staff and in collaboration with the innovation department.
- Participation and active presence in events and fairs with the aim of finding out the latest market trends and novelties, especially in forums on smart cities.
