She adds that this isn't the town hall's fault. There is a large deployment of workers from the Emaya municipal services agency. "Firstly, they come with fans to pile the rubbish up. Then the vacuum machines come. Other workers pick up what may be missed. And finally, there is the hosing. It's like this every day. How much does all this cost the people of Palma?"
She has been living on the second line in Playa de Palma for years and considers herself lucky because there aren't hotels near her. "But there are residents who say they can't sleep because there are people on the street until seven in the morning, shouting and relieving themselves."

NedYes, well, the term "Playa de Palma" is always used too generally in these contexts. For those that actually can point it put on a map, most are aware that it's a big place, about 5km long. The "problematic" part, which no doubt this, article refers to, is the Magaluf-esque German party zone (though much smaller in size) at the far eastern end of the beach, near Arenal. It encompasses about 200m of beachfront. The rest of playa de Palma is rather middle class family oriented, a mix of nationalities, and quite benign.
Stan The ManI am sure more bins could be useful but I have the feeling the problem is more at the other end with the drunken people being unable to use those bins.
Could more bins and Skips be useful as well as educating Tourists as to clean up their litter. The Residents of Mallorca are a bad example of just dropping litter wherever they are. Getting PRIDE in their Island to keep it clean and beautiful must now be a PRIORITY. Mallorca can not continue to be RUBBISHED in this manner without major repercussions.
