The roaming recycling days across Rome's districts
Love Your Neighborhood - Recycling Days is the major roaming extraordinary collection campaign promoted by AMA S.p.A., Rome's environmental services company, in collaboration with Rai's TGR Lazio. It is not a festival in the traditional sense, but a recurring appointment that, weekend after weekend, transforms squares, local markets, and open spaces in Roman neighborhoods into temporary collection points, staffed by company personnel.
The initiative takes place in the Municipality of Rome, the capital of the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital and the Lazio region, covering all fifteen city districts on a rotating basis: from the historic center of District I to the most peripheral areas of the coast and the Roman countryside. The logic is one of proximity: bringing the service right to your doorstep, within walking distance or a short drive, to break down the barrier that often leads to waste being abandoned on sidewalks.
The collection points are generally active on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM, with the number of stations varying each time - from ten to twenty - distributed in different districts at each appointment. Every citizen can show up with their materials and entrust them to the operators, who sort them by type and send them to their respective recovery chains.
Hazardous household waste such as paints, batteries, and lead-acid batteries are excluded and must be taken to the fixed AMA collection centers, which remain open during the campaign days.
The campaign's balance sheet tells a story of progressive success. From 160 appointments in 2023, it grew to over 500 in 2025, with a capillarity that has made the service part of the routine for many Roman families. Quantities follow the same curve: 2,066 tons collected in 2023, 4,959 tons in 2024, and approximately 6,800 tons in 2025, all sent for recovery.
Specifically in 2025, over 4,300 tons of bulky waste, 1,300 tons of wood, and more than 800 tons of WEEE stand out: materials that, without this channel, would have largely fueled the phenomenon of illegal dumping at the foot of dumpsters.
Alongside the standard stations, the "Together for Reuse" station is set up on some days, specifically dedicated to used clothing and textile products intended not for disposal but for reuse. It is a sign of the campaign's evolution, which has transformed from a simple logistics service into a tool for circular economy education.
The collaboration with TGR Lazio ensures constant media coverage and turns every weekend into a public reminder on the theme of urban decorum. For the involved neighborhoods, the day often becomes a small moment of neighborhood sociality, with residents meeting in line in front of the mobile ecological stations.
The schedule runs from January to December, with almost weekly appointments announced each time on the official website of Rome Capital and the AMA portal. Since the list of districts and addresses changes with every edition, it is always advisable to check the updated map of the stations in the days immediately preceding the appointment.
In 2026, the campaign promoted by AMA with Rai's TGR Lazio maintains the tight pace consolidated in previous years: almost every weekend, a new rotation of districts welcomes the mobile ecological stations. The hours remain unchanged - from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM - and the service is always free and without reservation.
The calendar for the first seven months has progressively covered all fifteen districts of Rome Capital, with a number of stations varying between ten and twenty per weekend. The materials dropped off are sorted by type directly at the station and sent to the recovery chains.
Since the addresses change with every appointment, AMA and Rome Capital invite you to consult the updated map of the stations published in the days immediately preceding. The fixed collection centers remain regularly open even during the campaign weekends.
All stations are active from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM, both Saturday and Sunday.
Paints, batteries, and lead-acid batteries are not accepted at mobile stations and must be taken to fixed AMA collection centers.
The calendar continues in the following months with new appointments announced progressively on the Rome Capital website.
Mobile collection points are set up on a rotating basis in the fifteen districts of Rome Capital, generally on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM. The list of addresses changes with each appointment and is published on the Rome Capital website and on amaroma.it in the preceding days.
The service is completely free for citizens residing in Rome. No reservation is required: simply show up during opening hours with the materials to be dropped off.
You can drop off bulky waste, wood, metal, WEEE, used clothing, textiles, and accessories; garden waste and prunings only on Saturdays. We do not accept paints, batteries, and lead-acid batteries, which must be delivered to AMA collection centers, which are regularly open even during the campaign days.
Each station is designed to be reachable on foot from the reference neighborhood; for bulky materials, a car is obviously recommended. Rome is served by metro lines A, B, B1, and C, regional railways, and a dense network of ATAC buses.
Those who cannot reach the stations can use the AMA home bulky waste collection service or go to the fixed collection centers distributed throughout the city. Information at the AMA number +39 06 51169.
