The Door to Door (DtD) collection system is related to an increase in selective collection. The selective collection data show how main selective fractions (organic, paper and cardboard, light packaging and glass) have a higher collection percentage in municipalities where a DtD system is carried out than in municipalities with other systems, especially in the case of the organic fraction.
In addition, it also facilitates the implementation of other waste management systems, such as payment per generation.

The number of municipalities with selective collection greater than 60% experiences an increasing trend very similar to that of the number of municipalities with door-to-door implementation.
Although the data obtained extends until 2021, new municipalities in Menorca and some neighborhoods in Palma de Mallorca were incorporated in 2022.
