Recycling islands

110 tonnes of recycled waste

Metro de Madrid is committed to recycling islands

Do you know what a recycling island is? It is a differentiated, screen-printed container for separate waste collection. These bins are located in the corridors of many Metro stations , you've probably passed by them at some point.

Thanks to this system, we have managed to recycle more than 45 tonnes of packaging and 65 tonnes of paper in the first six months of the year. 

Our goal  is to expand this model to more stations so that by the end of 2025, 75% of the Metro network will have these recycling points, which are so important to care for our environment.
