To improve the quality of separate waste collection in the cemetery area, communicate Clean Salerno, the removal of the old wheeled bins began this morning and new ones will be positioned. To prevent them from being used improperly, stations have been set up, each made up of three bins with different colored lids (brown, yellow and grey), as required by the legislation on minimum environmental criteria. The bin with the brown lid is intended for organic and compostable bioplastics, the one with the gray lid to the non-differentiable and the one with the yellow lid to multi-material (plastic, steel, aluminium, beverage carton).
The stations
Each bin will have a sticker showing the list of objects that can be placed in it and those that absolutely do not go there. The stations, 93 in number, for a total of 279 wheeled bins, will be placed next to the fountains, at the intersections of the avenues and in the squares. Visitors who will have to dispose of waste will thus have the opportunity to sort it correctly at the time of disposal. To avoid errors, Salerno Pulita also recommends always closing the lids, the color of which will thus be helpful at the time of delivery. Posters posted at the entrance gates and in the individual pitches will illustrate the new methods to visitors. The information will also be available on the Salerno Pulita website and social media pages.
The initiative
“With this initiative – he comments Vincent Bennetsole director of Salerno Pulita – let’s reorganize the collection in the pious place, adapting it to what already happens in the rest of the municipal territory, and equip the cemetery area with new bins to replace the existing ones, many of which are now worn out”. The project will be implemented in two phases, approximately twenty days apart. “The commitment to separate waste collection, the results of which have placed our city back in the top positions of the national ranking, does not stop. With this project – commented the municipal environmental councillor Massimiliano Natella – we also contribute to giving greater decorum to the cemetery”.
