Dawn in El Arenal: Who Really Cleans the Promenade?

Answer

Are there enough waste containers on Mallorca’s beaches in El Arenal?

The situation in El Arenal suggests that waste containers and collection points are not always adequate for the pressure they face, especially near beach entrances and busy pedestrian areas. Damaged bins, poor lighting and too few containers can make dumping worse and attract more rubbish overnight. Better placement and maintenance of containers would make a practical difference.
