It is no longer just residents and businesses who are complaining about deficiencies in cleanliness and waste collection in Playa de Palma, the local police are now doing so.

Since March, 23 000 kg of plastics, glass, etc has been picked up from 200 beaches in Mallorca financed by the tourist tax (reported by MZ). But more needs to be done, obviously.
To put it in entirely scientific terms, these (pictured) are what's known as "Dinky-Assed Teentsy Weentsy" bins.
its good to see the holiday room tax is being spent well
The cleaners do a good job and deserve praise for it and do the best they can with the resources that they have,what is needed is more cleaners and more bins.
I vote George for Mayor of Palma!
Interesting picture there of overflowing bins, and a much different take on stories printed in other newspapers today, showing beaches and footpaths covered in rubbish.Could the truth therefore be that maybe if bins were regularly emptied and made available to use (by the council), there would not be half as much rubbish scattered everywhere else (which is consequently once again blamed on tourist saturation)?
George, you speak far too much sense to be on this forum!
Common sense - areas have heavy footfall - so if that is the case - put in MORE BINS. This keeps the area tidy and saves the street cleaners triple work having to clean rubbish that is left on the floor around the bin.
