MESSINA – “These are cyclical moments of a system that has never worked the consequences of which fall on us mayors forced to increase the tariffs, except in Messina where from this year they have been reduced by 30%, despite the exorbitant cost of disposing of the plants where the Sicilian Region forces us to go”.
The mayor of Messina, Federico Basile, says soregarding the indefinite suspension of waste treatment activity at the Tmb plant in Lentini, ordered by the administration of Sicula Ambiente, the company that manages the landfill, following the provision of the regional Territory and Environment department.
The landfill and Basile’s words
“On the other hand, Cateno De Luca had already anticipated in 2021 – continues the mayor of Messina -, in my capacity as mayor of Messina, how much the system had collapsed and, in contrast, the promises of the Musumeci waste-to-energy plants which we are still waiting for”.
“The reality, however, sees the city of Messina unscathed and free compared to the risk of mountains of waste as instead – adds Basile – are evident and seen in other Sicilian cities. This level of virtuousness in terms of waste in the Municipality of Messina was achieved thanks to the separate waste collection which effectively reduced the tons of unsorted waste for which there is no facility where it can be disposed of and what’s more, from today, the only monopoly plant created by the Sicilian Region it closed due to lack of regional authorizations!”.
Basile concludes: “We had also foreseen this in advance and in fact proceeded with a tender to identify a different and more affordable system. So we can say that Messina, thanks to careful planning, will not suffer a state of waste crisis due to the fault and shortcomings of others.”
