Tarragona has incorporated 30 new cleaning vehicles, six of which are already circulating in the streets. This renewal expands the public service capacity and improves cleaning in different parts of the city.

New vehicles and their function in Tarragona

How are the new vehicles distributed and what do they contribute?

The City Council has added 30 new units, of which 18 operate with water to clean streets and public spaces. Six are already operational, with the rest expected to be put into service in the coming days.

This renewal allows intensifying cleaning tasks, especially in neighborhoods that need it, and having more specialized equipment for different types of dirt.

Why is this incorporation relevant for the residents?

Residents will see cleaner streets thanks to the increase in operational capacity and the improvement of the equipment. It is not just an increase in the number of vehicles but a more effective and specialized cleaning.

The impact on urban cleaning and municipal management

How will cleaning affect neighborhoods and public spaces?

With the new vehicles, cleaning frequencies will be intensified especially in busier areas that accumulate more dirt. More precise action is expected in sensitive points, facilitating a more welcoming city.

What is Urbaser’s responsibility in this process?

Urbaser, the company awarded the service contract, has the contractual obligation to incorporate these vehicles. This guarantees that cleaning management adapts to the growing needs of Tarragona.

Context and local perspective

Why this effort now for urban cleaning?

The city seeks to improve the image and quality of life of its inhabitants. With these vehicles, the City Council demonstrates a concrete commitment to cleaning and maintaining its public spaces.

What response is expected from the citizens?

Mayor Rubén Viñuales has emphasized that the goal is not for people to see 30 new vehicles, but to notice cleaner streets. This expectation focuses on the quality of service rather than appearance.

With this initiative, Tarragona positions itself to offer a more cared-for and healthy environment, suitable for residents and visitors alike.

The renewal of the cleaning fleet opens the door to a cleaner and better-managed city, with equipment adapted to current urban challenges.

Urban cleaning in Tarragona is no longer only a matter of image, but a real commitment to the residents’ quality of life.
