From the building boom to the circular economy
Reciclados Mijas was founded in 1997 as a private company by local transport entrepreneurs, in response to the need to manage the rubble and green waste of the Costa del Sol's landscaped areas, which at the height of the 1990s building boom had no authorised solution for this waste. The founding partners travelled to Europe to learn and brought that recycling model to Málaga, setting up a recycling plant in La Cala de Mijas.
The management team's commitment has been the constant improvement of recycling as the best alternative to disposal: giving value to waste that years ago had no outlet, and using it as raw material for marketable recycled products, contributing to the environment and to customer satisfaction.
The plant's main activity is the processing and recycling of the waste streams it is authorised for: green waste, C&D waste (construction and demolition), biodegradable waste, and wood, furniture and household items.
By properly processing and recovering this waste we obtain high-quality recycled products: organic soil improver for gardening and agriculture, and CE-marked recycled aggregates for the construction industry.
A necessary project for the Costa del Sol
Experience since 1997
Almost three decades processing green waste, C&D waste, biodegradable waste, wood, furniture and household items under official authorisation.
Continuous improvement
Relentless improvement of recycling as the best alternative to disposal, turning waste into marketable raw materials.
Environmental commitment
We keep more than ten thousand truckloads of green waste and rubble a year out of landfill, removing major sources of pollution.
Finca “El Colillero”
The plant is now located at Finca “El Colillero”, opened in October 2020, with major investment in specialised machinery and a staff of 32 people.
Our collection service uses specialised crane trucks that pick up green waste from residential developments, golf courses and landscaped areas throughout our service area, transporting it to the plant.
We also replant the site roads with trees and plants to prevent desertification, and we diversify our business with a nearby garden centre, La Cala Garden Center, creating more jobs in Mijas.
