€12,000 fines for illegal dumping on Camposol
The new signs have just gone up at the green waste area on B Sector, stating that fly tippers will face sanctions of up to €12,000 if caught
As work is underway to clear the garden waste (mixed with furniture, building rubble and plastic bags) on the B Sector car park of Camposol, signs have been erected at the entrance to the car park.
One sign warns in five languages – Spanish, English, French, German and Dutch – that the dumping of garden and building waste and furniture is prohibited. As the dumping of these materials comes under fly tipping laws, the sign informs that fines between €6,001 and €12,000 can be imposed. The sign also warns that the area is under video surveillance which is live.
The second sign gives the location, again in five languages, of the garden waste disposal area which opens week commencing July 21 and is in Sector C, at the roundabout on Avenida de los Covachos near the hotel.The area will be manned and open on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It will also have 24-hour video surveillance.
The opening hours are:
- Summer: 9am to 12.30pm
- Winter: 11am to 1pm
Furniture, domestic appliances and large domestic items can be collected by Mazarrón Council by contacting them on 0034 968 333 294. This collection service is absolutely free. Alternatively, these items can be taken to the Ecoparque.
