When we think about recycling, many questions arise for which we don't always have immediate answers. The EGF Group has a new service that will help clarify various issues.

The Recycling Helpline is a PUBLIC, FREE, and NATIONAL service created to provide effective answers to citizens, specifically to respond to questions, information requests, suggestions, complaints, compliments, and service requests related to the collection and treatment of urban waste.
Environmental Communication

The campaigns – Ecovalor, Toneladas de Ajuda, EcoEventos, EcoPraias and Mercado a Reciclar – allow us to reach various audiences and challenge citizens to recycle everything, always and everywhere. In all of them, it is possible to quantify the recycled packaging and measure results.

Discover them on the Environmental Education page.

Valuing the Environment is Caring for the Future.

ERSUC supports institutions with 420,000 euros as part of the Tons of Help campaign
On World Recycling Day, celebrated on May 17th, we remember that every gesture counts and every choice matters. Therefore, we highlight the Tons of Help campaign, a solidarity initiative that combines recycling with social responsibility, through which it was possible to allocate nearly €420,000 to social solidarity institutions last year, in the form of financial compensation for recyclable material delivered to ERSUC facilities. These amounts positively impacted approximately 15,000 people through the support provided by the 12 institutions that participated in the campaign. The EGF Tons of Help campaign is aimed at social and non-profit institutions in Portugal and is available in the ERSUC intervention area, regionally, and in approximately 60% of the national territory, through the 11 concessionary companies of the EGF group. 1290 tons of waste sent for recycling Throughout 2025, the institutions that participated in this campaign sent more than 1290 tons of recyclables for recycling: 971 tons of paper/cardboard, 274 tons of plastic/metal and 45 tons of glass.
