Answer

What can municipalities in Mallorca do to prevent container fires?

Local authorities can move some collection points away from parked cars, replace older bins with more fire-resistant models, and check problem locations more often. Information campaigns also help, especially when they explain that batteries and electronic waste should not go into residual rubbish. In high-risk spots, technical measures such as lighting or CCTV may also be considered.
