No municipality has enough reports for a ranking yet.
The ranking counts reports from our readers, checked by photo. It is not an official survey. Rubbish index: weighted reports over the last twelve months per 10,000 inhabitants (small 1, medium 3, large 8). A municipality is ranked from five reports, an island from 20. Cleared spots still count, because the rubbish was there.

How the litter map for La Palma works
Anyone reporting litter simply taps on the map, uploads a photo and confirms the report by email. Our image verification system filters out photos without litter and blurs out people and number plates. Naturally, the email address does not appear on the website.
Once the rubbish has been cleared by the local authority, any reader can report this by uploading a new photo of the same location. The marker will then turn green. It remains visible for 90 days. Markers that have not been confirmed by anyone for six months disappear completely from the map.
