At the Limit in Sant Llorenç: Water, Waste and the Construction Site of the Summer Months

Answer

Why does waste build up so quickly in Mallorca resorts like Cala Millor?

Tourist areas create far more waste in a short period than their year-round infrastructure is designed to handle. In Sant Llorenç, that means more frequent emptying is needed, more staff must be available, and collection points can overflow if planning is too slow. The pressure becomes visible very quickly on the streets and promenades.
