The Environment and Energy Commission has recently resolved this call which, as the deputy responsible for the area, Miguel Ángel Sánchez, has pointed out, "is especially relevant for towns with a smaller population, since due to their characteristics they have a smaller budget and without the help of the provincial institution they could hardly afford to pay for this service».
The item to defray the costs of collecting and transporting household waste includes three subsidy lines. The first of them is endowed with 680.995 euros, which will be distributed among the Vall del Pop Intermunicipal Association, the La Vall de Laguar and Orba Intermunicipal Association, the Marina Baixa Social Services Association, the Beneixama, Camp de Mirra Social Services Association and Cañada, the El Xarpolar Association and the La Rectory Inter-municipal Association.
