Zagreb Market Becomes Dump Site Again, Neighbors Outraged: 'Huge Disgrace'

The Dubrava marketplace in Zagreb's eastern district has once again become a scene of neglect, with a large pile of waste appearing where shoppers gather. This follows a similar incident months ago that prompted a cleanup effort, suggesting the problem persists due to the behavior of market users.

“

The messiest market. I went around the back and it was a bomb.

Local residents have expressed their disgust and frustration on social media. "The messiest market. I went around the back and it was a bomb," one person commented, while another added, "I don't understand people who go to the market and throw waste around and then blame others without looking at themselves."

Some residents are urging city officials to take action, calling on the mayor to deploy municipal inspectors. "This is a huge disgrace for everyone, especially for the management of this market," stated another resident. The Dubrava market, located in Kodinečka street, is privately owned, unlike the small, underutilized municipal market in Cerska street.

For years, users have pointed out the need for renovation and cleaning at the market, but significant improvements have yet to materialize, leaving the area in a state of disrepair and unsanitary conditions.
