Waste facilities of Biscay

  • Compellingly benchmark distributed

    This dataset contains information on waste management facilities located in Biscay, organised into four thematic layers that enable the identification and classification of the different types of infrastructure related to waste collection, transfer, and treatment. The “Garbiguneak” layer includes civic amenity sites intended for the selective collection of household and special waste, enabling citizens to correctly separate and dispose of recyclable materials and waste requiring specific treatment. The “Zabortegiak / Landfills” layer provides the location of landfill sites in Biscay, facilities intended for the controlled disposal of waste that cannot be reused or recovered through other treatment processes. The “Transferentzia-instalazioak / Transfer Stations” layer contains transfer stations where waste is grouped, compacted, and redistributed in order to optimise its transport to final treatment or disposal facilities. Finally, the “Beste instalazio batzuk / Other Facilities” layer includes other infrastructures related to waste management that are not covered by the previous categories, thereby providing a more comprehensive overview of the territory’s waste treatment and management system.

Provenance
The geographic data on the recycling centres (garbigunes) originate from the official information published by Garbiker on its Garbigune Network webpage, where the facilities are identified and, for each of them, the municipality, location, opening hours, status and area of influence are provided. Based on this official source, the spatial component of the data can be generated by structuring and georeferencing the location of each garbigune for use in mapping and territorial consultation.
