Fuerteventura Avanza criticises waste-fee management in Puerto del Rosario
1. Key points
The party argues that the Town Council had time to prepare alternatives and reduce the impact of the new fee.
Its criticism focuses on the 30% discount and the later requirement to file a specific application.
Fuerteventura Avanza is asking for figures on residents who took the course but did not complete the discount procedure.
2. The news in detail
Fuerteventura Avanza has stepped up its criticism of Puerto del Rosario Town Council over the rollout of the new waste fee. The party argues that the local government knew in advance that the charge had to be adapted and should have prepared a clearer system to reduce the impact on families.
The most sensitive point is the discount scheme. According to the party, training linked to the 30% reduction began in late 2025, before the bylaw was finally approved, and a separate application was later required with a deadline of 2 March.
The organisation warns that this sequence may exclude residents who completed the course but did not file the later application. It also calls for attention to older people and residents who may have struggled with notices, deadlines and administrative procedures.
3. Voices and statements
The party is asking for explanations before bills are issued.
4. Context and background
The position was issued by Fuerteventura Avanza on 6 September 2026 and refers to the municipality of Puerto del Rosario. The demand comes before bills linked to the new fee are issued.
5. What it means for Fuerteventura
The waste fee has become a municipal debate because it directly affects household costs. In this case, the discussion is not limited to the amount charged: it also covers prior information, access to procedures and the need to ensure eligible residents are not left out by a confusing process.
