Puerto del Rosario opens course registration for waste collection charge discounts
Eligible residents and certain businesses can apply for waste charge discounts for 2027 and 2028 after completing a course and meeting the council’s requirements.
Puerto del Rosario council has opened a new registration period for a recycling and waste management course required to apply for discounts on the municipal waste charge in 2027 and 2028.
The scheme offers a 30% discount to residents registered on the municipal register and 20% to certain businesses, provided they meet the other conditions. Completing the course does not automatically apply the discount: a separate application must be submitted to the council by 31 December 2026.
Who can apply?
The 20% business discount is available to eligible self-employed people operating as individuals and to owners of single-shareholder companies who work as self-employed people. Applicants must also be up to date with their tax obligations to Puerto del Rosario council and have no outstanding debts to it when they apply.
The new registration period is aimed particularly at people who could not complete the training in earlier rounds. Taxpayers who have already been granted the discount for 2026 and 2027 do not need to repeat the course in this round, the council says.
Course dates and application deadline
Registration is open from 13 November to 20 December 2026 through the council’s online form. In-person sessions will take place at locations across the municipality between 18 and 30 November. Dates, times and venues are available on the registration form, where applicants can select a session. The council may also arrange additional sessions in December.
An online version is due to become available shortly. Those registered will receive their virtual campus login details by email and will have four days from receiving them to complete the course. Places on both the in-person and online courses depend on registration levels and available capacity.
After completing the training, applicants must submit their diploma through the municipal registry by 31 December 2026. The application must include the cadastral reference of the home or business premises for which the discount is sought. Discounts for 2027 and 2028 remain subject to applicants continuing to meet the required conditions.
