Llucmajor Faces Waste Chaos: Why a Strike Is About More Than Just the Smell of Trash

Answer

Is it safe to leave rubbish outside during a strike in Mallorca?

Leaving rubbish out for too long can attract insects, rats and seagulls, especially in warmer parts of Mallorca. It can also create unpleasant smells and make pavements harder to use for residents and visitors. If collection is disrupted, it is better to follow local instructions and avoid adding loose bags to already full bins.
