Reports indicate ongoing challenges with waste accumulation and disposal across various regions. In Spain, citizens in Valencia have denounced the buildup of large items like furniture and tires near administrative areas, ~~while~~ specifically near the Ciudad Administrativa 9 d’Octubre. This accumulation has raised concerns regarding public space maintenance and the effectiveness of local cleaning services. Additionally, a volunteer cleanup involving 125 people was organized at Monte Ezkaba to remove ~~refuse~~ refuse, including car ~~batteries~~ batteries, suitcases, and ~~suitcases.~~ tires, to address the issue of nature being used as a dumping ground. In Spain, the waste management company Sogama has reported increasing financial losses, with projected deficits exceeding 10.2 million euros in 2027. To mitigate this, Sogama plans to increase the waste treatment fee for municipalities by 3.5% next year. Under waste management laws, local councils are required to pass these costs on to citizens, which may impact household waste bills. In Ecuador, residents in Guayaquil’s Flor de Bastión sector have reported insufficient garbage collection, noting that leftover debris and food scraps are causing unpleasant odors and raising health concerns regarding mosquito-borne diseases. Meanwhile, in Cusco, Peru, data shows significant waste management strain, with many municipalities relying on open-air dumps or reporting clandestine waste accumulation and burning.
