Beyond the82 percent of separate waste collection April. This is the gift that Bitonto yes fa for exactly two years since thenthe epochal change callor door to door 360 degreesentranceor in business exactly 24 months ago. It was the May 9, 2022Indeed, the day in which, despite the indifference of many, the municipal administration led by Michele Abbaticchio And Sanb, they gave life to a real revolution which in previous years had only affected the citizens of the hamlets and the historic centre and which, within Aroba1, was already at full capacity everywhere.
The commitment of the administration. «It was a gamble that paid off – underlines the Environment Councilor Giuseppe Santoruvo – hey results largely confirm it: official data say that Bitonto exceeded 82 in April 2024 percent of separate waste collection, a record figure, which demonstrates how the vast majority of citizens respect the rules and the environment». It’s not all rosy Why there is no shortage of problems. One above all: the enormous presence of waste in the countryside and elsewherereports. «On abandonments – Still Santoruvo – we do not shy away from taking charge of all reports to resolve them. Lwe work intensely on urban decor and we’re trying to put into effect any system aimed at preventing and combating waste abandonment. The so-called camera traps, regarding which more must be done and the local police must impose more sanctions on uncivilized people, as they are too few compared to the abandonments we encounter. Emblematic are the reactivation of Environmental education center (CEA), which in less than three months has brought the topic of recycling to many school groups in the city, approximately 400 pupils between elementary and middle schools and the Sanb which in the same way, thanks to an important project strongly supported by the sole administrator Toscano, has also brought the topic of waste separation to school groups, a project which will end on May 29th with a great event that we will inform you about».
Sanb’s new objectives. «The comparison between 2023 (first full year of home collection) and 2021 (last full year of street collection) – think numbers in hand Roberto Toscano – sees the reduction of 2,300 tons of total waste produced and the reduction mainly concerns the dry fraction that ends up in landfill. We now want to add to the combination of increase in waste separation and decrease in the overall quantity of waste produced two other objectives on which we are focused: purity of the different fractions of separated waste and the experimentation with forms of punctual pricing. Thus Bitonto, Palombaio and Mariotto want to continue to make their decisive contribution to the environment, to the circular economy but also to the pockets of citizens, especially those who collaborate more and better, despite the effects of the crazy dynamics of treatment costs and delivery to the plants which, we never stop reminding ourselves, do not depend either on Sanb or on the Municipalities. The synergy with the municipal offices and administration is perfect, starting with the mayor Francesco Paolo Ricci and by the councilor Giuseppe Santoruvo, with whom we are tackling the plague of dropouts with difficulty but also with important successes and investing in the training of the young generations and schools as formidable levers for improving collective well-being».
