Answer
Why is illegal dumping in Mallorca more than just a cleanliness problem?
Illegal dumping can affect health, safety and the local environment, not just appearance and smell. In Mallorca, rubbish piles may attract rats and insects, block access paths and create risks for groundwater or drainage systems. It also creates a social problem when people are living in or around the affected area and need support, not just removal.
