Answer

Who pays for cleaning up illegal rubbish in Mallorca towns like Binissalem?

When waste is dumped illegally, the municipality usually has to arrange removal and disposal. That means the costs are covered through public funds, so residents end up paying indirectly through local taxes and fees. If the problem continues, those costs can rise over time.
