Welcome to Arillas > Arillas general information
Corfu Rubbish Situation
shropshirenick:
I am visiting Arillas for the first time in July 2019. I must say I am very apprehensive, having heard about the current issues regarding rubbish on the island.
I am interested how regular visitors to Arillas have found the situation this year and if there is any likelihood of any improvement before I visit.
Truth:
Its a long way off is July next year..... anything could happen mate...
This year was fine on the seafront nd just off it but it gets worse as you move away. Being totally honest it wasn't ideal
shropshirenick:
Truth did you stop mainly in Arillas, or did you get out and about around the island. I would like to hire a car and explore the island, but it doesn't appeal much right now.
Yes, July 2019 is a long way off, but the situation seems to be getting worse, not better. There really doesn't seem to be much progress being made.

We've been visiting for many years and the rubbish situation isn't new, it crops up every now and again. We went around the island in July and, in parts, the rubbish was piled up but in other places there was none at all. Then there would be a big clear and it would all go..... then it would pile up again in places. In Arillas itself the locals work very hard to ensure that it is controlled and does not affect the look (or smell!) of the village.
As Truth has said, next near is a long way off and a solution may well be found by then - but whatever happens it won't affect your stay in Arillas.
There is a very good thread on the Corfu forum which is regularly updated with news/info about the situation should you wish to follow it - this link takes you to the last page. http://www.corfu-forum.com/forum/general-discussion/the-corfu-rubbish-situation!!!!!/new/#new

Hi
There is an election in early 2019 but even if a different party is elected there will be no change on the rubbish situation
The current contract for rubbish collection does not expire till Sept 2019. So next year will be the same.
This info we got from Theo ar Arillas Cars.
