Placing and removing rubble bags: The work of placing and removing the rubble bags must be carried out with the utmost diligence, so that vehicle traffic is interrupted as little as possible and does not cause inconvenience to citizens.
Its handling must be carried out in such a way that its contents do not fall onto the public road, or cannot be lifted or scattered by the wind, which is why the bags must remain covered when not in use.

All this without prejudice to the initiation of the corresponding sanctioning procedure.
Cleaning the occupied space: Once the bags have been removed, the occupied space and its immediate surroundings must be left clean and free of all types of debris or waste.
