A new one will be activated from May video surveillance service mobile to identify, or discourage, the perpetrators of waste violations, many of whom have already been unmasked and sanctioned, thanks to reports from citizens and the intervention of the environmental inspectors of Aamps-/RetiAmbiente and the municipal police. In fact, from January to today, environmental inspectors have carried out 1033 interventions, in 268 of which fines were notified for 80 non-domestic users and 188 domestic users.
The situation was taken stock of the situation yesterday in the Municipality by the municipal police commander Annalisa Maritan and for Aamps/RetiAmbiente by Andrea Valenti and the director Raffaele Alessandri. “From the third week of May the installation of 8 video surveillance devices will begin with progressive activation in areas of the municipal territory identified with the contribution of Aamps/RetiAmbiente where they are most frequent – explained commander Annalisa Maritan and Andrea Valenti of Aamps – illegal behaviors that deface the environment and cause urban decay. We will use technological systems capable of recording and sending photos and videos to the transit of people or vehicles.”
In the initial phase of the ‘anti-crafty’ operation, particular attention will be paid to the areas of the Pentagon and the Enlarged Centre, where the replacement of the old bins for separate waste collection is underway and where the abandonment of bags with unsorted waste.
Also in May, Aamps/RetiAmbiente will equip the Venice district with 8 additional containers for the organic fraction which will be in Piazza del Luogo Pio, Via della Venezia, Via Carraia, Piazza dei Domenicani and Piazza dei Legnami.
“The communication campaign ‘My home is the city’ is underway, created in collaboration with foreign communities – recalled director Alessandri – For this purpose, dedicated videos and multilingual information material have been produced to educate on the correct disposal of waste and the use of the new ‘intelligent’ road containers (which can be opened with a card equipped with a chip, ed.), which will be used to calculate the punctual rate according to which you pay for what you produce”. In this regard, the mayor Luca Salvetti, speaking with the councilor for the environment Giovanna Cepparello, underlined that “the experimentation of the punctual tariff in Antignano, Banditella, Montenero, Castellaccio, Ardenza and La Rosa has led to the reduction of unsorted waste.”
