Wave of incivism in Ibiza: 25 fines in only two weeks for littering in the street

Mattresses, furniture, gas cylinders and even hairdressing utensils: the local police are multiplying controls after detecting a boom in wild dumping and reminding that fines for non-compliance with the waste ordinance will be imminent.

The Local Police of Ibiza has imposed 25 complaints in the last fifteen days in different parts of the municipality -especially in sensitive areas and waste deposit areas- as part of an intensified device to combat the abandonment of garbage and reinforce compliance with the municipal waste ordinance, motivated by the increase in uncivic behavior detected recently.

During these actions, the agents have carried out a specific surveillance in clean points, streets with repeated irregular dumping and historic neighborhoods, detecting a significant increase in deposits after hours and abandonment of bulky objects. Only in the last two days have been processed 16 new complaints, including the one imposed on a woman caught while throwing a mattress in Galicia Street. The person in charge of a beauty salon located on Bisbe González Abarca street was also sanctioned for abandoning hairdressing equipment on the public highway.

On the same day, the agents located gas cylinders, doors, oil bottles and other utensils irregularly deposited in the street. The municipal cleaning service had to proceed to their removal and proper management, given the danger and negative impact of this waste on the urban environment.

The City Council recalls that last week, in a device deployed in the Marina and Dalt Vila, the Local Police reported three people for violations related to coexistence and misuse of public space. In addition, a specific control in the Obispo Huix street ended with five sanctions for improper dumping, and in Menorca street the person responsible for leaving furniture outside the authorized day and time was identified.

The Consistory stresses that these interventions are part of the ordinary operations that are being reinforced in view of the increase in waste infractions. It also recalls that bulky objects, such as furniture or appliances, should be removed only on the days and times established by neighborhoods. With the winter timetable already in force, he encourages citizens to consult the updated calendar or contact the municipal service before depositing any object on public roads, in order to avoid penalties.
