What we do

We support the city’s development by keeping streets, pavements and urban areas clean, while respecting both environmental standards and traffic needs

Cleaning streets and urban areas requires continuous improvement in the techniques and equipment we use. We strive to remain at the forefront to meet the evolving needs of cities and the new opportunities they offer to citizens.

 

Type and frequency of cleaning operations

Each urban area requires specific cleaning methods suited to both ordinary and exceptional situations

Below is an overview of the types of cleaning operations we carry out in your city. For each one, you will find the frequency of the operation.

 

  • Mechanical sweeping with facilitator

    Frequency: Weekly on main roads and in the historic centre of Rapallo, as well as in the square surroundings of Zoagli. Fortnightly in residential areas and monthly in all other managed zones.

  • Manual sweeping, collection, and emptying of litter bins

    Frequency: Daily in the city’s historic centre, with varying schedules in other areas. During the high season, emptying operations are increased throughout the day. In areas most frequented by dog owners, special dispensers with bags for waste collection will also be installed. The service includes emptying bins in streets, alleys, squares, and parks.

  • Cleaning and disinfection

    Frequency: Periodic. This involves sanitising underpasses, public tunnels, and stone seating.

  • Cleaning of parks and green spaces

    Frequency: Daily. The intervention includes collecting waste, branches and fallen leaves and emptying litter bins in green areas. The service also covers cleaning of avenues and rest areas, such as playgrounds, picnic areas, tables, and benches. Grass is removed from roads and pavements as needed.

  • Cleaning of traffic island flowerbeds and roundabouts
  • Removal of illegal dumping on public land

    Frequency: Upon report and as needed.

  • Cleaning of drainage grates and emptying of roadside catch basins

    Frequency: As needed. This ensures rainwater can flow away easily and helps prevent flooding during heavy rainfall.

  • Cleaning and washing of areas for open-air markets, fairs, and events
  • Collection and disposal of syringes in city parks and other high-risk areas

    Frequency: Upon report and as needed.

  • Emergency interventions

    Frequency: Upon report. Activated in the event of road accidents or natural disasters.
