Answer
Can abandoned boats in Mallorca be recycled instead of destroyed?
Yes, in some cases boats can be assessed for reuse, repair, or recycling before disposal is chosen. That depends on the condition of the hull and whether the materials can be handled in an environmentally sound way. For badly decayed boats, proper disposal is usually the more realistic option.
