The Serrazes Parish Council, in São Pedro do Sul, urges the public not to dispose of garden waste and agricultural leftovers in general waste bins.

The placement of pruning waste, branches, leaves, cut grass, and other materials from land and garden maintenance in public litter bins is prohibited. This practice hinders collection, causes premature filling of bins, and can lead to cleanliness and hygiene issues in the parish's public spaces.
To optimize the management of these waste types, the Serrazes Parish Council provides a specific location for the disposal of agricultural and garden leftovers. This measure aims to ensure that the waste receives appropriate treatment, contributing to environmental preservation and the overall cleanliness of the parish.
Citizens needing to discard these materials should contact the Serrazes Parish Council by calling 934 388 432. All necessary information for the correct delivery of the waste will be provided during the phone call.
The cooperation of all residents is considered essential to keep Serrazes cleaner, more organized, and environmentally responsible. The council emphasizes that small individual actions make a significant difference in protecting the environment and improving the quality of life for the entire community.
