Hi

You Probably noticed that Rojales and other municipalities have changed all the old inadequate bin containers to a more robust and bigger ones.thid change took place about a year ago.

However,have you also noticed that bin collections has now changed from every day to every other day or in our location at Publo bravo the bins are being emptied now every 3 days,sometimes every 2 days which leaves the bins full to the top and more domestic rubbish bags are dropped around the bin for Rats to chew them and not only creat a health hazzard it's leaves a terrible mess.

When the bin men finally turn up they only see to the rubbish in the container and than the collect the domestic rubbish bags and throw them back inside the container which leaves not much room again for the domestic rubbish and so on and on....

Don't they understand that we are in a Pandemic year and hygiene regulations should be paramount and yet again no one give a toss.

Do you expirience similar issues?

If you do I would love to hear from you,maybe together we can have the town hall change the way they thing and the way they operate.

Stay healthy,stay safe.

This is a constant problem. I have lived here fir many years and have contacted the town hall many times to no avail. Deaf and blind 

The streets wher I live have insufficient containers and hence the overspill of rubbish which as you say is no longer collected every day.   I have used the LINEA VERDI  app to complain again. Perhaps you might want to try this.  Good luck. Kay

Hello Kay

Many thanks indeed for your reply.

Nice to see that I am not alone.

The situation here has not improved either, however last Saturday 26/9 the bins were emptied and than for no apparent reason they were emptied AGAIN yesterday morning 🙄,now I am convinced that the next service will not happen till Wednesday morning (72 hours like before.😡).

No use to complain to Derek Monks as he is so called the representative of the Extranjeros on Rojales town hall on Quesada.gets a monthly salary for basically doing bogger all.he just likes to Fob you off and he was doing that for years.bloody useles for better word😡.

You can get a better response if you go to Rojales ayuntamiento yourself.

You mentioned the new app called Lines Verde,from where do you download this up?

Many thanks Kay once again.

Yours sincerely

I absolutely agree with you about worse than useless monks. I’ve tried loads of times to get him to do something   I’ve also written to the mayor ... waste of time

Hi Kay

Whereabouts do you live?

I am trying to organise some of our neighbors to come to the town hall of Rojales and lodge our protest there.

I will get also the olive press to document this and wake up a few people to the bargain as if you don't try to bring this issue to the open than this is the results...

Hi.
I live up by the windmill which is a bloody shambles ... I’ve told them.....it’s on their tourist attractions list   I really dont understand their mentality  and monks should be sacked 

 I’ve done the visit town hall thing... they nod and make all sorts of sympathetic noises but do nowt 

I’ve also sent pics of all the problems we live with    I think a petition is the thing if you can be bothered!!!!!!!!

Cheers kay

Morning Kay

I can see the frustration in your message and feel full sympathy.

How can we organise a petition?

Any idea please?

Many thanks

Hi again


you merely have to write your complaint(s) in English and Spanish and get as many signatures as possible then submit to the TH  it’s best if you can get a fluent Spanish speaker  I know this sort of thing worked in the past when we had severe trouble with street lighting ie none
