The president stated that this new machinery is more advanced and sophisticated than the conventional cleaning machinery being used now. Also, she said that Emaya has made investment in the new equipment in order to keep Palma clean and this will lead to a litter-free city.

The course on the usage of new machinery had been instructed to the staff in Son Pax. To make it convenient for the staff members, the sessions had been organized in accordance with their regular tours of duty it was conducted on 13th, 14th of august during two sessions, each one three hours long. The operators could learn how to get efficient results out of the machines and how to use them safely, using a prototype. They were instructed by experts from the manufacturers of that machinery.

The Greens said that they had sent repeated complaints regarding this issue to the Alliance of Socialist and Union Mallorquina but they did not respond and hence, they decided to bypass town hall and approach the Environmental Department of the Government. Verds Esquerra representative Guillem Caldentey advocated the need for effective and permanent measures to be taken to limit the number of automobiles in such protected natural areas. The party also mentioned that during few years in the past, large number of vehicles in this area has damaged the roads near Es Canons. They also mentioned that the lack of proper parking facilities in the area has lead to vehicles being parked near the rocks, damaging the plants nearby.

A similar protest on the same issue was carried out in 2005 by Es Garballó, a defence organization in Colonia de Sant Pere. They had mentiooned that the only solution this problem of erosion is to stop access for unauthorised vehicles into the protected areas.
