The Palma City Council, through Emaya, has removed over 44 tonnes of waste in 31 neighbourhoods of the city during June, as part of the Palma a Punt programme.
The intensive cleaning programme Palma a Punt has operated during June in three sectors of the city, covering 31 neighbourhoods and benefiting more than 103,500 people. In total, over 44 tonnes of waste have been removed, according to the Palma City Council.
Operations in sectors 9-10, 11 and 13
The work has focused on the sectors 9-10, 11 and 13, which include areas such as Cala Mayor, San Agustín, Génova, Son Rapinya, Son Malferit, Rafal Vell, Establecimientos, Son Sardina, among others. In sector 9-10, which encompasses 17 neighbourhoods, work has been carried out for eleven days over an area of 30 square kilometres.
In sector 11, covering 5.7 square kilometres, the work has lasted ten days, while in sector 13, which spans 44.5 square kilometres, operations have taken place in six neighbourhoods. In total, 44,130 homes have been cleaned in these areas.
Cleaning results: clearing, washing and graffiti
The Emaya teams have cleared 122,000 linear metres of grass and washed nearly 470,461 square metres of road and pavement. Additionally, 1,122 litter bins and 204 containers have been treated, and the exterior of 912 containers has been cleaned.
In terms of graffiti removal, 28 graffiti tags have been eliminated, an action that helps improve the urban image of the affected neighbourhoods. Furthermore, 18 tonnes of waste have been removed just in sectors 11 and 13.
47 workers mobilised
To carry out these tasks, Emaya has mobilised 47 workers, including regular service operators, exclusive Palma a Punt brigades, and external reinforcements hired for specific tasks, such as the interior cleaning of containers.
The Palma a Punt programme aims to implement a strategic cleaning plan by sectors with specialised teams. The June operation has allowed for improvements in the health and appearance of the neighbourhoods, something that residents have particularly noticed in areas like Son Sardina or Establecimientos, where the accumulation of grass and waste was common.
The Palma City Council plans to continue these interventions in the coming months, extending the programme to other sectors of the city. Citizens can check the schedule of operations on the Emaya website to find out when their neighbourhood will be addressed.
