Out of control. Rubbish of all kinds including large quantities of household goods are piling up on land in the Puente Alto Industrial Estate in Orihuela. A plot of land, located near warehouses and the municipal slaughterhouse, which has become an “illegal rubbish dump”, according to the Anti-Corruption Platform la Plataforma Defensa de la Huerta.
From sofas, shoes and chairs to tyres, glass and building debris, all types of waste abandoned indiscriminately. An area that workers live with and that is gradually occupying more space, because the piles of abandoned rubbish are growing by the day.
It is a major concern for truck drivers, who leave their vehicles in this area of the industrial estate to rest, as it is unhealthy and poses a risk of fire.
Moisés Cruz, secretary of the Platform, says that the problem needs to be addressed, and quickly.
It is not only the residents of Orihuela Costa who are unhappy with the performance of the councillor for Urban Waste.
