Monza: the future of waste and the mayor’s proposal
«The management of the contract is complex and cannot leave you satisfied with the results» he admitted shortly before in the face of criticism from the opposition which he accused the majority of having exploited the disastrous start of the new contract to his advantage during the electoral campaignwhich started a few months before the June 2022 elections, but of not having made any progress relevant despite the changes in rubbish collection times. The minority councilors insisted that the abandonment of waste along the peripheral roads has not decreased, the city is dirty and the reintroduction of the parking ban during the times when sweepers pass through many streets creates inconvenience for citizens.
Attempts to correct the flaws of the service will continue, he assured Pilottowhich called the room to evaluate other options in addition to that offered by the private marketpracticed for about thirty years in Monza: there are, he recalled, that represented by mixed companies And the in-house alternative. And while Monza has to deal with the off-balance sheet debts caused by the disputes opened by Sangalliand in a few weeks he will have to pay more 900,000 euros which will be added to the 4,600,000 euros paid last year, other cities «they decide how to commit the dividends or the return from the sale» of materials recovered through separate waste collection.

It taxes waste, which it should drop up to 50 euros for families and increase by 14% for non-domestic users, it was approved with 19 votes in favor and 10 against: the increases, the opposition attacked, will increase the difficulties of traders and artisans. To try to counteract the death of shops, the Forzista hoped Massimiliano Longothe council should evaluate the introduction of measures to support small businesses.
