Ibiza Local Police issued 52 reports during a special week-long campaign targeting breaches of the city's waste and animal regulations.

The control operation took place across Ibiza Town from September 14 to 20, with the vast majority of the cases linked to waste management.

Of the 52 reports, 51 concerned waste-related offences, representing 98.1% of the total. The remaining report, 1.9%, concerned a breach of the municipal animal ordinance.

Most Cases Were Related to Waste

Waste management accounted for almost all of the reports issued during the campaign.

The figures show that 51 of the 52 cases were connected with breaches of the municipal regulations governing waste.

The campaign was aimed at identifying behaviour that does not comply with the city's rules and at improving the cleanliness and proper use of public spaces.

43 Reports Involved Residents

Most of the waste-related cases were linked to residents rather than commercial or other activities.

A total of 43 of the 51 waste reports, or 84.3%, concerned resident behaviour.

The remaining eight cases, equivalent to 15.7%, were connected with activities.

The municipality has not described these figures as a measure of all waste problems across the city, but as the results of this particular police control operation.

Three Areas Accounted for More Than 80%

Ses Figueretes, es Pratet and la Marina recorded the highest number of waste-related reports during the campaign.

Ses Figueretes accounted for 16 cases, es Pratet for 15 and la Marina for 10.

Together, the three areas produced 41 of the 51 waste-related reports, equivalent to 80.4% of the total.

Ses Figueretes Recorded the Most

Ses Figueretes was the area with the highest number of waste-related reports during the week, with 16.

The neighbourhood was followed closely by es Pratet, with 15 cases.

The concentration of reports in these areas reflects where the police detected the greatest number of breaches during the specific campaign period. It does not mean that these neighbourhoods necessarily account for 80% of all waste-related problems in Ibiza throughout the year.

La Marina Recorded 10 Cases

La Marina recorded 10 waste-related reports.

Together with Ses Figueretes and es Pratet, the area formed the group responsible for more than four fifths of the waste cases identified during the operation.

The remaining reports were distributed among several other parts of Ibiza Town.

Other Areas Also Recorded Reports

The remaining 10 waste-related cases were spread across five areas.

S'Alamera recorded three reports, while s'Hort del Bisbe also recorded three.

Ses Canyes accounted for two, while the Passeig Marítim and Can Bossa each recorded one.

This means that waste-related breaches were identified in a number of different parts of the city during the seven-day campaign.

One Case Involved Animal Regulations

While the campaign focused heavily on waste, it also included checks relating to animals.

One of the 52 reports concerned an alleged breach of the municipal animal ordinance.

That represented 1.9% of the total cases recorded during the campaign.

The available information does not provide further details about the specific animal-related breach.

Part of Wider Municipal Enforcement

The special operation forms part of Ibiza Town Hall's broader programme of control and surveillance.

The municipality says the Policía Local has carried out different control operations during 2026 across several neighbourhoods to detect breaches of local ordinances, particularly those concerning waste and animals.

The wider objective is to improve cleanliness and ensure that public spaces are used in accordance with municipal regulations.

Waste Management Remains a Focus

The latest campaign highlights the importance of correct waste disposal in Ibiza Town.

Municipal waste rules govern how refuse should be handled and where it should be placed, and police controls can be used to identify breaches.

The fact that 43 of the 51 waste-related reports involved residents shows that the campaign was not directed exclusively at businesses or commercial activity.

Reports Are Not the Same as Final Fines

It is important to distinguish between a police report or complaint and a final administrative penalty.

The 52 cases announced by the municipality are reports issued during the control campaign.

The available information does not establish that all 52 had already resulted in final fines or completed sanctioning procedures.

For that reason, the figures are best understood as reported infringements identified by police during the operation.

The Campaign Covered September 14 to 20

The operation ran for seven days, from Monday, September 14 through Sunday, September 20.

During that period, police monitored different areas of Ibiza Town as part of the targeted campaign.

The results were then released by the municipality on September 22.

Ibiza Town Hall Plans Further Controls

The municipality says these surveillance and control operations will continue alongside public-awareness measures.

The aim is to reduce what it describes as uncivic behaviour, improve compliance with local regulations and maintain cleaner public areas.

The latest campaign therefore forms part of an ongoing approach rather than a one-off action.

What the Numbers Show

The figures from this particular week provide a clear picture of where the police detected the most waste-related breaches.

Of 52 total reports, 51 involved waste and one involved animals.

Of the waste cases, 43 concerned residents and eight were linked to activities.

Ses Figueretes, es Pratet and la Marina accounted for 41 of the 51 waste cases, with the remainder distributed across s'Alamera, s'Hort del Bisbe, ses Canyes, the Passeig Marítim and Can Bossa.

Continued Monitoring in Ibiza

The latest operation shows that waste management remains an active enforcement issue in Ibiza Town.

With the municipality planning further controls and awareness measures, similar inspections are expected to continue across different neighbourhoods.

For residents and businesses, the message from the campaign is straightforward: compliance with Ibiza's municipal waste and animal regulations remains subject to police monitoring and enforcement.
