The Health and Welfare Department of the Junta de Anadalucia has declared a public health risk in the municipality of El Coronil, Sevilla province, where the rubbish collection service has been on strike since January 9th 2013.
The Ministry has been monitoring the situation since the indefinite strike began on January 9th and they now believe a dumping area for fish products on the edge of the municipality, near Montellano, is cause for concern.
Following analysis by technicians, the Ministry, has decreed that there is a real risk to public health due to odours, leachate, insects, rodents and other animals and have asked the socialist Mayor of El Coronil, Jerónimo Guerrero, to take action to alleviate the health risk.
