The Puglia Region Council has approved an update to the regional waste plan providing for an increase in volume of one of the public landfill sites, namely Deliceto in the province of Foggia.
“This is – says the Councilor for the Environment – a provision which has the objective of meeting the regional volumetric requirement in terms of urban waste collection and which will make it possible to give resilience to the entire regional system in terms of capacity disposal of biostabilization residues. This is for the sole purpose of guaranteeing management and operational stability of the landfills in our territory. The development of separate waste collection – the councilor is keen to point out – is already underway thanks to the investments of the PNRR and will be able to count on further investments under the Fund for Development and Cohesion (FSC) proposed by the Puglia Region, in full compliance with the safety, environmental protection and citizens’ health”.
The Puglia Region, with the Environment Department, aims to improve the performance of separate waste collection compared to that recorded from 2019 to 2023. In fact, it is committed, also through the structure of the Commissioner ad Acta, to supporting Optimal Collection Areas (ARO) which have not yet entrusted the unitary management of the separate waste collection and urban hygiene service, so that the related procedures can be completed quickly and unitary services capable of achieving online separate collection percentages can be launched with regulatory objectives. Furthermore, particular attention and monitoring with periodic meetings are dedicated to the large inhabited centers, mostly the provincial capital municipalities (Bari, Foggia and Taranto), with the aim of improving their respective performances and reducing the production of unsorted waste.
The expansion of the public landfill located in Deliceto (FG), close to exhaustion, is equal, as approved by the Council, to approximately 450,000 cubic meters, and these are volumes that can be intended as a replacement for part of the landfill volumes already planned by the current PRGRU and currently unavailable as per administrative and technical evaluations in other sites.
