Ibiza strike halts Sant Josep paper collections

Paper and packaging collections stop in Sant Josep, Ibiza, on Wednesday as a strike cuts household rubbish pick-ups to 50% of normal service. The local council says collections of general waste and organic waste will continue at that reduced level. Eivissa and Santa Eulària des Riu, also on Ibiza, have set out which services will keep running.

In Sant Josep, five workers will provide limited street cleaning, focusing on town centres, parks and health centres. Mechanical cleaning and bin cleaning will stop. Beach cleaning will run at 25% of normal service, with one worker covering recycling points and litter bins. Two gardeners will work in large gardens and playgrounds. Emergency animal collections will continue, along with basic care for animals already taken in.

Eivissa keeps home care running

Eivissa’s council says three care workers will provide home help during the strike. Its citizen service desk will have two staff, while the residents’ register and general intake office will each have one administrative worker.

The municipal nursery will open for the school day, with its director or a substitute on site and one childcare worker for every three classrooms. Municipal offices at Cetis and Plaça Espanya will also remain open.

Santa Eulària keeps general waste collections

In Santa Eulària des Riu, the council says normal general waste collections will continue in full. Paper, cardboard and light packaging will be collected only on scheduled routes through the municipality’s town centres.

Bulky waste collections will run at 33% of normal service. Street cleaning in town centres will be limited to emptying litter bins, while general waste collections for certain commercial producers will run at 50% of normal service.
