La Selva extends the waste delegation to Hostalric and Riudarenes

The Consell Comarcal de la Selva has approved the extension of the delegation agreements for the management of municipal waste competencies maintained with the town councils of Hostalric and Riudarenes. The agreement is detailed in the edict published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Girona no. 216, dated November 10, 2026, with the official reference BOP-2026_0_216_9498 (p. 1-1). The council’s Plenary finalized the agreement in an extraordinary session on October 27, 2026, and the corporation’s president, Martí Pujals Castelló, signed it electronically on October 30.

The publication is made, according to the text of the announcement, “for general knowledge and for the purposes provided for in articles 9 and 48 of Law 40/2015, of October 1, on the legal regime of the public sector.” With this extension, the two municipalities of Selva keep competencies that they had previously delegated to the county council, meaning they do not revert to the town councils.

Three extensions approved in a single plenary

The extraordinary plenary of October 27 was not limited to the two agreements of Hostalric and Riudarenes. In the same session, the extension addendum for the delegation of inspection powers regarding municipal waste management for the Town Council of Sant Julià del Llor i Bonmatí was also approved, published in the same issue of the gazette with the reference BOP-2026_0_216_9499.

• Hostalric: file 2026/00004678E, extension addendum to the agreement for the delegation of municipal waste management competencies with the Consell Comarcal de la Selva.
• Riudarenes: file 2026/00004672A, same extension addendum formula.
• Sant Julià del Llor i Bonmatí: file 2026/00005442G, in this case limited to inspection powers.
• Signature: Martí Pujals Castelló, president of the Consell Comarcal de la Selva, dated October 30, 2026, in Santa Coloma de Farners.

What it implies for the local sanctioning regime

The extension has practical effects on who acts in the event of non-compliance regarding waste. In the case of Sant Julià del Llor i Bonmatí, the delegation specifically affects the inspection power—that is, the ability to verify on the ground the compliance with waste regulations—which remains in county hands and not municipal ones. In the cases of Hostalric and Riudarenes, what is being extended is the delegation of management competencies, the area that supports the supra-municipal collection and treatment service.

For the residents of the three municipalities, the immediate consequence is the continuity of the county model: the Consell Comarcal de la Selva continues to exercise competencies that the city councils had ceded to it and which are now renewed by plenary agreement, with official publication as a requirement for validity and general knowledge.
