General and organic waste must be placed in bins between 6pm and 11pm until 31 March 2027. Minor offences can carry fines of up to €2,000.
Ibiza Town Council has introduced its winter waste disposal schedule, which will remain in force until 31 March 2027. The council has also reminded residents of the designated days for the collection of furniture, electrical appliances and other bulky household items across the municipality’s different neighbourhoods.
Under the municipal waste management and street cleaning regulations, general waste (non-recyclable rubbish) and organic waste must be placed in the designated bins between 6pm and 11pm during the winter period. This is two hours earlier than the summer schedule, when residents must wait until 8pm to dispose of these waste types.
There are no time restrictions for paper and cardboard, except for commercial cardboard waste, while packaging and containers can be disposed of at any time of the day. Glass must be placed in the designated recycling containers between 8am and 10pm.
Bulky waste collection: neighbourhoods and designated days
Ibiza Town Council also operates a scheduled bulky waste collection service, with specific days assigned to different neighbourhoods.

Fines of up to €2,000 for waste disposal offences
The council has also reminded residents that the municipal waste ordinance provides for penalties for anyone who fails to comply with waste disposal and management regulations.
The maximum fine for minor offences has increased from €600 to €2,000. Offences that can result in a penalty include leaving rubbish bags outside designated containers and throwing cigarette butts onto public streets.
Ibiza Town Council stresses that following the disposal times and bulky waste collection schedule is essential to ensure proper waste management and prevent rubbish from accumulating on public streets and pavements.
