Laviana: Starting in July, you'll need an appointment to dispose of furniture

Starting July 1, if you live in Laviana and want to get rid of old furniture, mattresses, or appliances, you’ll need to make an appointment. The City Council has set up the phone number 604034117 for this purpose. You must call Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. They will ask for your information; tell them what you want to dispose of, and you’ll agree on a date and time for pickup.

Throughout July, two systems will be operating simultaneously: the traditional one, with a fixed day for the truck to make its rounds, and the new one, which requires an appointment. In Pola de Laviana, the truck will come on July 1; in rural areas, on July 10. But starting July 15, only the appointment-based system will be in effect. So, if you have anything to dispose of, you’d better get organized.

The Laviana City Council states that this change aims to improve street cleanliness and prevent illegal dumping. According to them, much of the junk that appears on public streets is not left by residents but by outsiders. With the appointment system, they hope to better control waste.

If you’re a foreigner living in Laviana, keep in mind that you’ll need to call to use this service. If you don’t speak Spanish fluently, ask someone you trust for help or visit City Hall for guidance. The number is 604034117, and the hours are from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Don’t forget to have your address and the type of material on hand.

This measure is part of the “+limpia+Laviana” program, which also includes changes to household trash collection using removable bins. These bins are placed outside your door from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.; you can put out your trash between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., and the truck picks it up at 10 p.m. According to City Hall, this system aims to standardize the service.
