I have only recently been made aware of the fact of how important it is to ensure ones´ Padron is kept registered. The process which works as follows is not a failsafe process. Every so often the Town Hall has a generated report asking for us to confirm that a list of persons should still be on the Padron. This is done to ensure that the TH is not claiming for persons who should not be counted for the benefits the TH receives. In the past this task has been passed to myself or another member of staff, however, the problem has often arisen when we have been unable to contact the individual. They may have change phone numbers or contact details and we are then unable to get them in to confirm that they should still be on the Padron. Until recently I thought that such cases remained on for a few more years but it now transpires that they do not and drop of the register.
Again I was unaware of the importance of this until we recently became involved in trying to arrange assistance for elderly residents who needed such help and the first question Social Services asked was for confirmation that the individual was on the patron and had been consecutively on it for the previous 5 years. I realise now that many people would not know whether they were or were not on the Padron and my advice would be (as I intend to do it myself) is to set a date once a year and call in and ask for a Certificado de Empadronimiento that would then ensure that your record was active.
Basuras (rubbish bins) It would appear that some of our newer residents are unaware of their responsibilities regarding rubbish. Firstly if you have a recycling bins please use them for the purposes shown. Secondly if you have any large items or items that you feel could be recycled you can place them by the bins just prior to the 12th and 27th of each month as that is when the Consorcio remove such things. Any large scale garden refuse etc can be disposed off at the centre in Arbloeas their Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/Arboleas-Recycling-Centre-262281380865976/
