Modena, 29 June 2024 – Door-to-door and distribution of bags for plastic, paper and organic waste: this will change from Monday 1st July. In fact, those that the people of Modena have known in recent months as ‘Case Smeraldo’ will close (the remaining ones were in via Razzaboni 80 and at the Albinelli market) and their place will be replaced by tobacconists, newsagents and other commercial establishments adhering to the 100% distribution. project. These will therefore be the only distribution points for separate waste collection bags. To collect or replace cards and bins or issues relating to the Tari, you will need to contact the Hera Customer Desk in via Razzaboni, 80.
With the closure of Casa Smeraldo the dedicated telephone number and email address will also be deactivated; For reports or requests for information, the Il Rifiutologo app and the Customer Service are always available on the toll-free number 800 999 500 (for domestic users) or 800 999 700 (for non-domestic users). The new distribution, introduced by the Hera Group at the request of the municipal administration, has the aim of guaranteeing a more widespread service and meeting the needs of citizens, facilitating the collection of bags: the distribution points, implemented periodically, are marked by a specific window sticker. The list can be consulted on the website www.gruppohera.it/associazione/casa/ambiente (in the Collection section in your municipality of Modena) and on the Il Rifiutologo App. The new method of distributing the bags represents a further step forward in the complex process of reorganization of the city’s environmental services, which over time has seen a series of improvement interventions, implemented in collaboration with the municipal administration, to provide citizens with an always more punctual.
An important change that involved over 100 thousand users in a short time, necessary to adapt to the sustainability standards required at a European level: in about a year and a half Modena reached 78% of separate waste collection, almost reaching the objective set by the Emilia-Romagna Region which, for capital cities, foresees 79% by 2027.
