During the first week of the campaign, a total of 46 fines related to waste abandonment were recorded. The majority, 43, were for leaving cardboard and bags outside the bins. Two more sanctions were imposed on individuals for discarding bags, and one on a business.
In parallel, control over waste regulations has been intensified. Local Police officers and Mogoda Serveis personnel are inspecting abandoned bags to identify those responsible. This control task will be carried out periodically.
Additionally, two fines have been issued for violations of animal ownership ordinances: one for failing to collect animal waste and another for not keeping the animal on a leash. The owner of a motorhome was also fined for discharging wastewater.
The Santa Perpètua de Mogoda City Council announced the campaign last week with the aim of penalizing anti-social behaviour that pollutes or damages public and natural spaces. The municipal program addresses three areas: improving cleanliness, reinforcing waste collection, and combating anti-social behaviour. Mayor Joan Carles Mingueza has instructed the Local Police to intensify surveillance.
