Benalmádena has launched a free temporary service for household furniture and bulky waste while construction continues on the municipality's new permanent waste recycling centre (punto limpio). This supervised service will allow residents to dispose of unwanted household furniture and other large items free of charge, helping to reduce illegal dumping and keep public spaces clean.

Councillor for street cleaning Juan Olea said the initiative forms part of the council's ongoing efforts to improve recycling and waste management.

“While work continues on the new permanent facility, we are providing residents with additional free disposal options. Leaving waste beside rubbish containers is a breach of municipal by-laws and offenders face the maximum penalties enforced by the Local Police,” he said.
