People in a situation of social vulnerability in Vélez-Málaga can now apply for the 95% reduction of the waste fee for 2027. The application period remains open until December 31, 2026, and the request can be submitted at any of the municipality's Citizen Service Offices, according to the Ayuntamiento. The reduction is available to those who are beneficiaries of certain social benefits and those who have received municipal social emergency aid or family financial aid during 2026. The measure therefore affects the municipality's lowest-income households, which will see the amount of next year's rubbish bill reduced by 95%. The opening of the period was announced by the councillor for Finance, Lourdes Piña, and the councillor for Social Rights, Juan García.

What to do and until when

The application must be submitted at the municipality's Citizen Service Offices and the deadline ends on December 31, 2026. It must be proven that one of the established cases applies: being a beneficiary of certain social benefits or having received municipal social emergency aid or family financial aid in 2026.
