We would like to inform you that Valorsul’s Energy Recovery Plant will undergo a scheduled shutdown between 2 October and 20 November to carry out scheduled maintenance work essential to the smooth operation and safety of the facility. In order to ensure the continuity of urban waste management and treatment services during this period, and in particular during October, alternative operational arrangements will be put in place. These may include the temporary diversion of waste to other Valorsul facilities, notably the Mato da Cruz Landfill. This is a temporary and planned situation, forming part of the standard operating procedures for periods when the plant is unavailable. Once the work has been completed, the facility will resume normal operations.

At Cidade do Rock, recycling also takes centre stage Valorsul returns to Rock in Rio in 2026 with an initiative that brings together music, urban art and recycling, as part of the “Together we make the impossible happen” campaign. This reinforces the commitment to sustainability at major events, in keeping with the spirit of the festival, showing that, when everyone gets involved, recycling can also be part of the show. In an atmosphere that celebrates sharing, creativity and the involvement of thousands of people, Valorsul invites festival-goers to join this collective effort, demonstrating that small individual choices can translate into positive impacts on the scale of the entire event.

The campaign kicked off on Saturday at Lourinhã Market, attended by António Gomes, a councillor on Lourinhã Municipal Council, and Armando Militão, Valorsul’s managing director. Valorsul has just launched the environmental awareness campaign “Mercado a Reciclar” in the municipality of Lourinhã, in partnership with the Town Council, with the aim of encouraging market traders and visitors to sort recyclable waste correctly within the market environment, thereby promoting its delivery for recycling.
