Could space garbage fall down on Norway or Spain?

Yes it can!

Since Sputnik 1 was launched into space in 1957, thousands of satellites have been launched into orbit. And a whole lot of it comes down again, in fact somewhere between 100 and 150 tons of electronics and scrap metal - EACH YEAR, according to the European Space Agency, ESA. And when the 30-meter-long part of the Chinese rocket "Long March 5B" hit the earth on May 8 and 9, 2021, no one knew exactly where it would land. Long March 5 B weighed between 17 and 22 tons. The last time an equally heavy part of space-material fell to Earth was the Soviet space station "Salyut 7", which fell over Argentina in 1991. One could easily get a little nervous thinking that things can fall into your head, at the house, or in the garden where you live. Or in the schoolyard where your child is playing ... I must admit that I thought a bit about where Long March 5B was going to fall. And I did it even though we know that 70% of the Earth's surface is water, and that the vast majority of the Earth's surface is uninhabited.

But another thing that made me think is that the Chinese minimized the problem of scrap falling into our nature. Had they already intended to pick it up from the bottom of the sea where it finally fell, after swishing over the Spanish sky and finally ending up in the Indian Ocean??? Hardly. The rubbish that finally lands among us, that does not burn up in the fall through the atmosphere, it just stays where it lands. Garbage. No one is responsible for that. Space itself has a lot of rubbish of broken or discarded spacecraft that just travels around in orbit around the earth. At the risk of other commercial or state-funded satellites, spaceships, space shuttles or rockets. The Norwegian Space Agency says that Norway is involved in the making and financing of many large and important satellites, but we also have some that are just ours. I would guess some of them may have been sent up by Andøya Space on Andøya. In Spain, INTA is the heavyweight with the heaviest professional environment, involved in nano- and mini-satellites, "regular" satellites and rockets and lots of other civilian and military space projects. Both Spain and Norway are members of the European Space Agency, ESA.
