Well the island of Tenerife has one big tip , or land fill up at Arico which most people detect with their noses as they pass by at high speed on the motorway.

But i suspect you are looking for your local "PUNTO LIMPIO" or "Rubbish Collection points". Every local council has a few. Adeje, Granadilla, Arona etc etc all have collection points designed to collect the rubbish you no longer want and pre sort it ready for recycling.

There are also rubbish transit stations in each municipality..but for domestic levels of waste the punto limpeos should be enough for you.

This page is the official Cabildo Page explaining the Punto Limpios, at the bottom of which are PDF files containing the maps and directions of the individual collection points.
