Is there information on separate waste collection on the Statistics Portugal portal?

Yes, information on selective waste collection is available on the Portal> Products:

·  Database > Theme: Environment  > Subtheme: Solid Waste – contains various indicators with information on the proportion of urban waste collected selectively, i.e., the proportion of urban waste collected that is separated by the holder for the purpose of recycling (e.g., glass recycling bins and recycling points). In addition to these, data on selectively collected urban waste per inhabitant is available, with information at the municipal level.

It should be noted that the information in the selected indicator tables can be changed using the “Change selection conditions” option for the dimensions that allow it, namely the reference period for the information and the geographical location.

Examples of indicators:

Proportion of urban waste selective collected (%) by Geographic localisation (NUTS - 2024); Annual

Selectively collected urban waste per inhabitant (kg/inhabitant) by geographical location (NUTS - 2024); Annual

·  Publications> Theme: Environment> Environment Statistics – annual publication with an evolutionary analysis of the environment in Portugal. Includes a thematic chapter on “Waste.”
