What about the budget cuts for refuse collection. Take from one and give to another? It seems the 1 million Euros cuts to Orihuela Costa refuse collection is beginning to bite. Bins are disappearing from various sites around Playa Flamenca with others residents around Orihuela Costa noticing similar occurrences in other areas. I now find in the vicinity of my own property that bins x3 on Calle Del Fenix have disappeared leaving 2 outside La Luna Restaurant for the area, whilst Calle Iguazu has lost 3 bins, an area that had overflowing bins for weeks at a time. Nearby bins on Calle Niagara are constantly overflowing with litter strewn up and down the street and across the waste ground. I dread to think of the consequences of the loss of these refuse bins in the weeks and months to come.
