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

The operation took place across Ibiza Town from September 14 to 20, with almost all of the reported infringements related to waste management.

Of the 52 reports, 51 concerned waste regulations and one related to the municipality's animal ordinance.

51 Reports Related to Waste

Waste management accounted for 98.1% of all reports filed during the campaign.

The municipal operation was designed to detect breaches of Ibiza's waste regulations and encourage correct disposal practices in public spaces.

The remaining report, representing 1.9% of the total, concerned an infringement of the municipal animal ordinance.

Most Waste Cases Involved Residents

Of the 51 waste-related reports, 43 were linked to residents.

That represents 84.3% of all waste reports recorded during the campaign.

The other eight cases, or 15.7%, were associated with activities.

The figures therefore show that the campaign was focused largely on problems involving domestic waste disposal, rather than only commercial premises.

Three Areas Accounted for 80.4%

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

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

Together, the three areas accounted for 41 of the 51 waste 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.

Es Pratet followed with 15, while la Marina recorded 10.

The figures refer specifically to this seven-day enforcement campaign and should not be interpreted as a measure of the overall level of waste-related non-compliance in each neighbourhood throughout the year.

Other Ibiza Areas Also Recorded Infringements

The remaining 10 waste-related reports were distributed across several other areas.

S'Alamera recorded three, 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 reports were recorded across different parts of the city rather than being confined to the three areas with the highest totals.

One Report Involved Animals

The campaign also covered Ibiza's municipal animal regulations.

One of the 52 reports filed during the week concerned an alleged breach of the animal ordinance.

The information released about the campaign does not specify the precise nature of that infringement.

A Targeted Municipal Campaign

The operation forms part of Ibiza Town Hall's wider programme of police monitoring and enforcement.

The municipality says Local Police have carried out different targeted controls during 2026 in several neighbourhoods to detect breaches of local ordinances, particularly those relating to waste and animals.

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

Reports Are Not the Same as Final Fines

The 52 cases should not automatically be described as 52 final fines.

The municipality's announcement refers to 52 “denuncias”, meaning reports or complaints filed in connection with alleged breaches.

The administrative process can continue after a report is issued, so the figure does not establish that 52 final monetary penalties had already been imposed.

This distinction is important when reporting the outcome of enforcement campaigns.

Focus on Correct Waste Disposal

The results highlight the continuing attention being given to waste disposal in Ibiza Town.

Municipal regulations govern how residents and businesses must handle and deposit waste, and police controls are used to identify breaches.

The campaign covered both domestic behaviour and activities, with the majority of cases linked to residents.

The Three Main Areas

The concentration of reports in Ses Figueretes, es Pratet and la Marina was particularly notable.

Together, the three areas produced more than four out of every five waste reports during the campaign.

However, these figures reflect where officers identified infringements during the specific seven-day operation. They do not establish that these neighbourhoods necessarily have the highest annual rate of waste-related breaches.

The Campaign Took Place Over Seven Days

The special control operation ran from Monday, September 14 through Sunday, September 20.

Following the campaign, the municipality published the results showing the 52 reports recorded across Ibiza Town.

The operation formed part of the city's broader enforcement and awareness work rather than representing a one-off change to the waste regulations.

Enforcement Alongside Awareness

The Town Hall says police surveillance will continue alongside citizen-awareness measures.

The objective is to reduce behaviour that breaches municipal regulations and improve the condition of public spaces.

The approach combines enforcement with efforts to encourage residents and activities to follow the correct waste-disposal rules.

Ibiza Continues to Monitor Public-Space Use

Waste is one of several areas covered by municipal enforcement activity in Ibiza.

Local Police regularly carry out targeted operations involving municipal regulations, with the latest campaign concentrating specifically on waste and animals.

The municipality says further surveillance and control operations will continue during the year.

What the Numbers Show

The final breakdown from the seven-day campaign is clear:

52 total reports were filed.

51 concerned waste regulations.

One concerned the animal ordinance.

Of the 51 waste reports, 43 involved residents and eight involved activities.

Ses Figueretes recorded 16 waste reports, es Pratet 15 and la Marina 10.

Together, those three areas accounted for 41 of the 51 waste cases, or 80.4%.

The Remaining Waste Reports

The other 10 waste reports were spread across five additional areas.

S'Alamera recorded three and s'Hort del Bisbe three.

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

The distribution demonstrates that waste-related infringements were identified in several parts of Ibiza Town during the campaign.

Further Controls Planned

The municipality has said that these types of monitoring operations will continue.

The intention is to reinforce compliance with local regulations while improving cleanliness and the use of public spaces.

For residents and businesses, the latest campaign serves as a reminder that waste disposal and other municipal rules are actively monitored.

A Week of Enforcement in Ibiza Town

The September 14-20 campaign resulted in 52 reports, the vast majority concerning waste.

The figures provide a snapshot of the infringements detected during one week and show that most cases involved residents, while three areas accounted for the majority of waste-related reports.

The municipality says further controls and awareness measures will continue as part of its efforts to improve cleanliness and public-space management in Ibiza Town.
