Low levels of residual fraction collection usually go hand in hand with high levels of selective collection or low waste generation per capita. This indicator is, therefore, a positive sign of a municipality’s progress towards zero waste.

In 2021, only 17 municipalities in the Balearic Islands collected less than 120kg (25% of the total) of residual fraction.
The vast majority of municipalities that generate less than 120kg/inhabitant/year in the Balearic Islands are municipalities with less than 10,000 inhabitants and with a door-to-door waste collection system.
