Bins on Paseo de Levante are being renewed in Benidorm, increasing their capacity to 250 litres

Benidorm new bins

“A black metal model very similar to the current one but which increases the collection capacity from 100 to 250 litres,” said Luis Navarro, Councillor for Street Cleaning, of Benidorm City Council, which has started remodelling all of the trash cans along Paseo de Levante. In particular, the area between the intersection of Avenida Virgen del Sufragio and the end of Avenida de Madrid is where the new 250-liter rubbish bins are being placed. The area surrounding Plaza del Torrejó, which is smaller than the rest of the promenade, has a special installation of 100-litre rubbish bins.

According to Navarro, these bins are being renovated after the City Council “acquired 115 units, 65 of which hold 100 litres and 50 of which hold 250 litres, all of which are equipped with anti-vandalism systems.”

The 65 100-liter bins will be dispersed “between Paseo de Poniente and Avenida del Mediterráneo and the surrounding area,” while all of the high-capacity units will be placed on Paseo de Levante “because it’s the area of Benidorm where the greatest amount of waste is generated throughout the day.”

The mayor further stated that “all the waste bins removed from these locations will be relocated to other areas of Benidorm after being cleaned, repainted, and repaired, replacing any damaged or other models.” According to Navarro, the medium-term goal is “to implement a single model of waste bin throughout the city, with a black metal look and embossed with the Benidorm name.” He explained that “the new waste collection and street cleaning contract will include the supply and maintenance of waste bins throughout the city.”

Woman ran over at a bus stop in Alicante and then attacked with scissors and a knife

National Police

Accused of purposefully running over a 35-year-old woman at a bus stop in the rural district of El Rebolledo in Alicante and then attacking her with scissors and a knife, among other bladed weapons, a 37-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter were taken into custody by the National Police this week. Days after the two parties argued, the attack took place.

The event happened on Camino del Fardacho in El Rebolledo last Monday at approximately 11 a.m. Following their prompt response after being mobilised by the 091 dispatch team, officers from Grupo de Motos de Seguridad Ciudadana -los “Rayos” (the Citizen Security Motorcycle Group (the “Rayos”)) and the Alicante Central Police Station apprehended the two suspected offenders after the National Police received a report of a hit-and-run and assault with sharp objects at a bus stop.

The victim was hit by a car driven by a mother and her daughter as she was at a bus stop in El Rebolledo with her companion, according to police records. The accused motorist struck the victim in the leg after colliding into the bus stop and then turned around with the intention of striking her once more. After she finally pulled over, the mother and daughter used a knife and scissors to attack the wounded woman.

When receiving an 091 call, the National Police promptly responded and took the two attackers into custody when the victim’s boyfriend stepped in to stop additional beatings.

After arriving at the site, a Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance treated the injured individual and transported her to a hospital, where she received treatment for cuts and bruises to several body regions; stitches were not required.

In Benidorm, a repeat abuser breaks into his ex-‘s home and assaults her

Alicante Provisional Court

A man was given a total term of two years and three months in jail by the Alicante Provincial Court. The punishment was handed out to a habitual abuser who broke into his ex-partner’s Benidorm home and assaulted her. In order to avoid calling a jury to try a breaking-and-entering case, the defendant came to an agreement whereby he entered a guilty plea to the offences.

The man was incarcerated after receiving multiple convictions for abuse and restraining order violations.

On May 6th of last year, the woman was leaving the grocery while examining her cell phone in the first of the events for which he is currently facing charges. The defendant flung her phone to the ground as he came up behind her. According to the verdict, it is established that the defendant completely disregarded the restraining order that forbade him from approaching the victim.

On May 8th, two days later, the defendant jumped through the living room window to enter the victim’s house. “If you’re not for me, you’re for no one,” he said, grabbing the victim by the hair and dragging her into the living room. He then kicked and punched her, threatening her with a screwdriver and screaming that she had sent him to jail and that he was going to kill her first, then kill himself.

During a High Court hearing this week, the man entered a guilty plea.
