Costitx imposes severe penalties for illegally dumping rubble at the recycling center

CostichoThe Costitx Town Council has issued fines in the last three months to people who have illegally dumped construction debris at the municipal recycling center. The installation of surveillance cameras has been key to identifying the offenders and processing the corresponding fines, which range from €300 to €1,500, as established by the municipal ordinance. In some of the detected cases, as can be seen in the image provided by the Town Council, the perpetrators even used wheelbarrows to unload the waste, clearly violating the regulations on the management of construction debris. Three of the fines were considered serious and carried the maximum penalty stipulated by the ordinance, amounting to €1,500. In the other cases, the infractions were minor, and the fine was €300. The City Council reminds residents that this type of waste cannot be freely disposed of at the recycling center; instead, the established procedures must be followed to ensure proper and environmentally responsible management. The City Council urges citizens to act responsibly and with environmental awareness to preserve the environment and avoid penalties.
