Environment

In 2023, Inmogolf, the developer of the resort, handed over the responsible for the maintenance of the public roads and the general provision of water and power services plus the drainage system to the Cartagena City Council. This was via a special agreement called the “Recepcion”. Other aspects of the environment infrastructure are the responsibility of the General Community.

The principal service is that of sweeping of the public roads. This is usually done twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) but if there are particular problems caused by one-off circumstances, for example extreme weather, this may be increased.

Street lighting is somewhat complex. The provision is down to the Cartagena City Council and is the cost of the electricity used. However, the general maintenance is the responsibility of the General Community.

Across the Resort, roughly 1.2m tons of rubbish is produced every year peaking during the summer months. Disposing of this is in accordance with stringent regulations and this is a significant task for the General Community. Collection bins are provided to all individual properties and to Communities, which may have more than one collection area dependent on their size. The bins themselves are provided by the General Community – grey for general household waste, yellow for plastic and blue for paper & card. There are various bin sizes with the smaller ones generally used for individual properties and the larger 1000 litre bins used in public areas and for communities.

The General Community has two rubbish trucks that make daily collections (excluding Sundays) for general household waste, between once and twice a week for the yellow bins and three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays) for the blue bins. Due to the extra volumes in the summer months these services are often extended dynamically to match demand.

There is an external company that provides glass disposal containers which are located in La Sabinas, La Plaza, behind the Owners´ Clubhouse and in some communities, such as Las Brisas or the Golf Bungalows.

There is an Eco Park located behind the Owners’ Clubhouse which is available for recycling purposes. The Eco Park is open on Tuesdays and Fridays between 9.30am and 11.30am and is for the exclusive use of La Manga Club Owners only. It is not for commercial waste, builders’ waste or the clearance of properties. Please note that CCTV monitors the area. Only METAL, PLASTIC and WOOD items may be disposed of.
