Garbage, household items and debris have taken over Montaña Mina, between the municipalities of Arrecife and San Bartolomé. Despite the existence of the Network of Clean Points that are distributed throughout the island to deposit belongings, the landscape of this area has become a landfill.
Many citizens are dedicated to throwing all kinds of garbage and belongings in this area, which is an attack against the environment, in addition to being a visual impact on an island with very sensitive biodiversity. Citizen platforms such as Colectivo Tabaiba have denounced this fact on their social networks.
"All that has been there for years, many years," they declared from the group. And it is that in the images you can see how there are tons of waste such as toilets, mattresses, bags with rubble, furniture and an endless amount of garbage of all kinds.
The garbage is on different dirt roads that exist in the area near the mountain and "can even be seen from the highway between San Bartolomé and Arrecife," says Colectivo Tabaiba.
