Residents of Timanfaya street in Alcorcón have voiced their dissatisfaction with the constant accumulation of cardboard boxes in public bins, a problem they attribute to local businesses.

Residents of Timanfaya street in Alcorcón have reiterated their complaints regarding the daily condition of the cardboard bins. They report that several local greengrocers deposit boxes at any time, leading to accumulations that hinder the normal use of these facilities. They consider the situation to be recurrent and demand a solution, including increased oversight of businesses that fail to adhere to the designated disposal hours.
The residents maintain that the bins are intended for public use, not for businesses to deposit large quantities of packaging without following regulations. Proposed solutions include reinforcing surveillance, imposing penalties for non-compliance, and requiring that cardboard be taken to designated collection points or deposited only within the established collection hours.
ESMASA, the municipal sanitation company, reminds that Alcorcón has specific collection points for commercial establishments to deposit cardboard. However, they warn that these points are frequently used incorrectly. The company emphasizes the need to flatten boxes before placing them in the bins to prevent external accumulations and issues with cleanliness and mobility.
The public company also calls for shared responsibility in keeping the city clean. Meanwhile, residents of Timanfaya street are demanding more decisive actions to prevent the sight of overflowing bins from becoming a common occurrence and to ensure that both individuals and businesses comply with waste management regulations.
