San Vicente del Raspeig uses drones to combat illegal dumping

The San Vicente del Raspeig City Council has launched a new campaign to combat illegal waste dumping in rural and outskirts areas. To improve identification of offenders, the Local Police are utilizing drones to monitor the skies and coordinate with urban surveillance teams.

Authorities report that they have located fifteen illegal dumpsites across the municipality's outskirts. Several offenders have already been identified and issued fines ranging from 200 to 800 euros. Security Councilor Adrián García noted that the use of drones and increased coordination between departments has allowed for more effective vigilance in these problematic areas.
