The Portuguese Environment Agency confirmed that the municipality of Lagoa exceeded its bio-waste collection target for 2025. The municipality collected 2,574 tonnes of bio-waste, achieving a 27% collection rate against a 26% target. This achievement means Lagoa is entitled to an estimated reimbursement of €104,000 regarding the Waste Management Fee (TGR) paid to ALGAR.

Why it matters
The successful collection rate allows Lagoa to receive a financial adjustment from the Waste Management Fee. The municipality reported that the improvement was largely due to increased participation from residents, businesses, and local institutions in the separate waste collection programs.
