The Velilla de San Antonio City Council has announced the start of technical procedures to install video surveillance cameras at various waste collection points throughout the municipality.

This measure comes in response to the repeated detection of uncivil behavior, such as the abandonment of trash bags, furniture, appliances, and debris in unauthorized areas, despite the availability of space in standard containers.
According to the local government, the primary goal of this initiative is to prevent such infractions, identify those responsible, and ensure compliance with waste management and community coexistence regulations.
Local authorities have reminded residents that specific services exist for the collection of bulky items and have emphasized that the installation of the devices will strictly comply with current data protection regulations.
