Continue to raise awareness among the community to ensure that the practice of separate waste collection is more present”. This morning in Piazza San Giovanni in Ragusa a real street furniture made of recycled plastic was placed, consisting of a frame and two panels , thanks to the latter it will be possible through the QRCodes present to offer citizens and tourists, in view of the upcoming summer, information on how and when to correctly dispose of plastic packaging present also the mayor of Ragusa Giuseppe Cassì together with the councilor for the environment Mario D’asta, represents a strong signal of credibility and commitment towards the citizens.
