After the successful first edition, with the new summer season the novel version of the project of the Municipality of Trieste together with AcegasApsAmga is underway to promote sea waste management, contrasting the dispersion of waste.
“Separate waste collection does not go on holiday, but goes to the sea” is the motto launched by the Municipality of Trieste and AcegasApsAmga to Trieste for summer 2022 and which this year is being relaunched with greater force to involve even more bathing establishments.
To sanction the value of the project, the City Council approved a dedicated resolution, in which the guidelines are defined.
“Attention to the protection of the environment, especially the marine one, which surrounds us and which we from Trieste have the pleasure of enjoying – said the municipal councilor for Territorial Policies, Michele Babuder – must be our reference. With the collaboration of AcegasApsAmga and the managers of the establishments which, in addition to the Topolini, have joined the initiative (Ausonia, Lanterna, Bagno Militare and Sticco), we hope to provide a service and at the same time send out a message of responsibility”.
“Like AcegasApsAmga – said Federico Trevisan, head of relations with local authorities of AcegasApsAmga – we are at the service of the Municipality of Trieste for the collection of waste also along the coast of our city and, in coordination with the adhering bathing establishments, we have planned a series of infrastructural support activities with the placement of special containers for separate waste collection and the development of communication solutions through panels to inform and make everyone aware of the points and methods of conferment. We are also ready to carry out the waste collection on the occasion of all the initiatives promoted during the summer, such as in the case of cleaning the seabed”.
The first year confirmed the success of the project to which Ausonia and Topolini had adhered, creating about 60% of separate waste collection in the two bathing establishments.
The success achieved thus confirmed the commitment of the Municipality and AcegasApsAmga to promote a new edition for 2023, with the aim of encouraging more and more establishments to join.
