Ortuella City Council has issued a 6,000 euro fine to an individual for three illegal dumping incidents in the Golifar and Etxezuri neighborhoods, following an investigation by the Local Police.

The investigation began after residents reported waste accumulation outside designated areas. By reviewing security camera footage and relying on public cooperation, officers were able to identify the vehicle and the person responsible for the unauthorized disposal of items.
Municipal sources have stated that abandoning waste in public spaces is considered a «serious offense». Such actions negatively affect urban cleanliness, public health, and the daily operations of waste collection services.
The local government emphasizes that waste must always be deposited in authorized containers or through official collection channels for bulky items. These measures are essential to ensure a clean, safe, and well-maintained environment for all residents.
