AMPANS Medi Ambient
Commited to environmental protection since the beginning
The history of AMPANS has always been commited to the protection of the environment, being one of the pioneering entities to initiate the recycling of glass and paper in the seventies. In 1973, one of the most mythical and emblematic campaigns of AMPANS began, the bottle and paper collection. A solidarity campaign to raise funds to promote and maintain the services for people with intellectual disabilities in which thousands of volunteers participated during the 25 years.
In 2000, the waste collection service was professionalised and the management of the first clean points in the Bages region began. In 2001, the Manresa Waste Disposal Service was incorporated by public tender and new environmental work activities were started, such as the management of the Selective Collection service in the Bages region.
