The Ibiza Town Hall has opened an informative file to the company concessionaire of the waste collection and street cleaning service after detecting deficiencies in the provision of the service. The decision comes after in recent days there was a noticeable deterioration in the state of cleanliness of the streets of the municipality.
“The City Council maintains constant control over the cleaning concessionaire and we cannot allow situations like those of the last few days, where the service has not been provided as it should be, to be repeated. It is intolerable the state in which the municipality was“, warned the fourth deputy mayor and councilman of Environmental Management and Cleaning, Jordi Grivé.
Complaints for violations of the waste ordinance
In parallel, the Local Police of Ibiza has filed a totalof 16 complaints in just two days for violations of the municipal wasteordinance. These sanctions are part of the surveillance and control work that the police force performs continuously in different parts of the municipality.
Among the most outstanding actions is the denunciation of a woman caught leaving a mattress in Galicia Street, as well as the sanctioning of the manager of a beauty salon in Bisbe González Abarca Street for leaving hairdressing utensils on the public road.
During the day on Monday, the agents also located the improper dumping of several bulky objects, such as bottles, doors, oil bottles and other utensils, the abandonment of which is a violation of the ordinance. The municipal cleaning service immediately proceeded to remove this waste for proper management.
Citizen control and accountability
These actions are part of the regular inspection devices executed by the Local Police by order of headquarters, in order to ensure compliance with regulations and maintain in good condition public spaces.
The City Council reminds citizens that bulky objects, such as furniture or appliances, should be deposited only on the days and times established for each neighborhood. The winter schedule for the collection of tools is currently in force, so it is recommended to consult the updated calendar or contact the municipal service before removing any object to the public road, in order to avoid penalties.
