The Town Hall of Nuevo Baztán reminds pet owners that the municipal ordinance requires immediate cleaning of droppings on sidewalks, promenades, and gardens. Failing to do so is a minor offence that can be fined up to 750 euros.
The Town Hall of Nuevo Baztán has made a call to residents with pets to pick up their animals' droppings during daily walks. This obligation is not just a recommendation: the Regulatory Ordinance on the Ownership and Protection of Animals states that those walking dogs or other animals must prevent them from leaving waste on sidewalks, promenades, gardens, and other pedestrian areas.
When droppings occur, the responsible person is obliged to clean them up immediately, as stipulated by the municipal regulation. The Town Hall insists that carrying a bag and using it is a simple gesture that helps keep the municipality cleaner and more pleasant for everyone.
The ordinance considers it a minor offence not to take appropriate measures to prevent animals from soiling public or commonly used private spaces. These offences can be punished with anything from a warning to fines of up to 750 euros, depending on the criteria established in the ordinance itself.
From the Animal Protection department, we encourage pet owners and caretakers to act responsibly and civically: always carry bags, pick up, and dispose of them correctly.
The council emphasizes that caring for the streets, parks, and gardens is a shared responsibility and appeals for neighbourly coexistence above any sanction. The municipal recommendation is clear: always carry bags, pick up the waste, and dispose of it in the proper place.
This measure is part of the awareness campaign by the Town Hall of Nuevo Baztán, which reminds that the cleanliness of public spaces depends on the behaviour of each pet owner. The ordinance remains in force, and sanctions are applied according to the criteria set out in the regulatory text.
