In Spain, the government has intensified its fight against littering, with fines reaching up to €2,001 for improper disposal of cardboard boxes; 299 fines were issued in Madrid alone.
Many cities, including Marbella and Cadiz, have increased inspections and disciplinary actions against littering, employing undercover officers to catch offenders, with varying fines based on the severity of the offense.
The legislation, while controversial, reflects a broader shift in how Spanish municipalities enforce waste disposal regulations, aiming to protect health and environmental standards across the country.
Local regulations differ, but the overarching trend is clear: Spain is becoming stricter about littering and waste disposal, with penalties ranging widely—from 90 euros for minor offenses to severe fines for environmental violations.
