Have you got a Junta de Vecinos (neighbours' association? The ideal thing would be to mobilise them and either do it yourselves or make an approach to the authorities as a JdV and ask them to do it. First step would be to contact the ADN (municipal council), then I would try the Environment Ministry (Semarena). If you get no joy, try the Vida Azul environment campaigning group. They organise the country-wide beach and river clean-ups every September. They could either exert pressure on the appropriate authorities, or they might agree to help organise a one-off clean-up event now, or at least include it in their schedule for September.
Good luck and let us know how you get on. Contact details follow for ADN, Semarena and Vida Azul:
