EPA party spokeswoman for Salobreña, Yolanda Rodríguez Galindo, will put forward a motion to eliminate 2014 rubbish-collection bills… read on!

Sra. Rodríguez said that the 2014 bills for rubbish collection should be eliminated because the municipal police came across 550 individual bills that had been dumped on wasteland in October. The said bills had been issued by the Servicio Provincial Tributario de la Diputación de Granada, or in other words, the provincial council.

“This anomaly was made more serious by the deficiency in the distribution of the rest of the bills in our municipality,” she explained, pointing out that people have not received them and therefore were unable to pay them.

In a response made before the press, the Provincial Delegate for the Environment, Sr.José Antonio Robles, said that no surcharge would be levied on those unpaid bills if the person can prove that he did not receive it.

It is impossible to actually prove that you haven’t received the said bill, says the EPA Spokeswoman, so the person’s word should be sufficient to waiver the surcharge.

Furthermore, according to Sra. Yolanda Rodríguez Galindo, quite a few locals have requested that the bill be resent as they hadn’t receive them the first time around, only to receive the bill with a 5% surcharge imposed, which belies Sr. Robles promise.

For the above reasons the EPA Spokeswoman will propose the motion to eliminate the 2014 rubbish collections bills and be done with it.
