The Lanzarote Litter Map shows all verified reports of litter submitted by our readers on Lanzarote. All the island’s municipalities are colour-coded according to our litter index: the darker the area, the more reported litter per inhabitant you have spotted there. La Graciosa is part of the municipality of Teguise and is included in its figures.

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 Lanzarote works
Anyone wishing to report litter on Lanzarote simply taps the button, then taps the exact location on the map, uploads a photo and finally confirms the report via email. An image verification system filters out photos that do not show litter and blurs out people and number plates. The email address does not appear anywhere.
Once the rubbish has been cleared away, any reader can report this by uploading a new photo of the same location in Lanzarote. The marker will then turn green and remain visible for 90 days. Markers that have not been confirmed by anyone for six months will disappear completely from the map.
