The Villalbilla Town Council has made a call to dog owners to pick up their pets' faeces, reminding them that the municipal ordinance includes penalties ranging from 300 to 3,000 euros.
The Villalbilla Town Council has called on dog owners to pick up their pets' faeces in public spaces, a practice it considers mandatory and the responsibility of all. Failure to comply with this rule can result in fines ranging from 300 to 3,000 euros, according to the municipal ordinance.
Faeces left on sidewalks, parks, green areas, or natural spaces deteriorate the environment, generate unpleasant odours, and can transmit diseases due to the presence of pathogens, in addition to contaminating areas enjoyed by all residents. Therefore, the council insists that always carrying bags is a simple gesture that makes a difference.
To facilitate this task, Villalbilla has free bag collection points distributed throughout various areas of the municipality, so that owners can fulfil their obligation without excuses. The campaign emphasises that small gestures lead to a cleaner, healthier, and more pleasant municipality for everyone.
The Town Council reminds that keeping the municipality clean is a shared task and that respect for other residents involves taking care of common spaces. Economic penalties, starting at 300 euros, are applied in accordance with the current regulations in the locality.
