Valorsul - Valorização e Tratamento de Resíduos Sólidos das Regiões de Lisboa e do Oeste, S.A. is the company responsible for the treatment and recovery of around 950,000 tonnes of municipal waste produced each year in 19 municipalities in Greater Lisbon and the West Region:
Alcobaça | Alenquer | Amadora | Arruda dos Vinhos | Azambuja | Bombarral | Cadaval | Caldas da Rainha | Lisboa | Loures | Lourinhã | Nazaré | Óbidos | Odivelas | Peniche | Rio Maior | Sobral de Monte Agraço | Torres Vedras | Vila Franca de Xira.
VALORSUL covers an area of 3,391 km2. Its area of intervention corresponds to less than 4 per cent of the country's total area, but it recycles more than a fifth of all the household waste produced in Portugal.
This huge amount of waste is treated and valorised by Valorsul through a modern Integrated Urban Waste Management System that is suited to the growth and composition of our urban waste.
What is no longer of value to you and is therefore thrown away, at Valorsul becomes a resource again, a raw material capable of being transformed into a new cardboard box, a new glass bottle, electricity, fertiliser for agriculture or materials for building a new road.
