The new system of waste, hundreds of thousands of euro spent unnecessarily

Recently, the municipal administration of Feltre has given way to a new system of collection which, for the dry part of the waste , bins to cover the use of electronic opening . Every citizen is given a electronic key that allows the opening of the caps to include the bag containing the dry waste. The number of openings will determine the fee charged to each user.

This new system of waste collection in the town of Feltre only began a few months, but already demonstrates its inefficiency. The first results of this new method can not be regarded satisfactory, since still, after three months, we still find garbage bags left on the ground, but most of all paper and plastic out of the bins that the city wanted to incredibly seal with the locks and ridiculously .

this is not enough, now we learn from the local press that the new collection system is a major flaw: to disperse the dry is not the key, because it is just a bit 'of arm strength and good push to raise the Cover dumpsters and garbage bags to give out too far, without a trace .

The new system is, therefore, show not only inefficient but also really hurt. The administration has made an investment of hundreds of thousands of euro, of course pads of public money, which is now proving to be a real flop.

Yesterday in the press the commissioner to waste Rest (which we had requested two months ago, a video interview on the subject of waste, without ever getting a reply) said that the dry bins will not be sealed , but everything is up to the common sense of citizens . Thus, even without using the chip with metallic cap, if it conforms to the type of dry undifferentiated disposal will be fine in any case because, apparently, there is no rule that penalizes the opening hand of the box of dry .

With the dry boxes that open normally, we are now using the same system that existed before this new collection method. The difference is that now we have boxes of paper and sealed with plastic bolts and, therefore, overflowing with garbage.

bins adapted to the new system caps keys with microchips and unnecessary, but it goes on like this. Public money, took hundreds of thousands of euro dalle nostre tasche, spesi inutilmente. Com’è possibile che l’amministrazione sia stata colta in fallo su questa questione? Com’è possibile che ci sia stata una svista così grande che, di fatto, rende completamente vano e superfluo questo nuovo sistema di raccolta? E dov’è finito il rispetto del denaro pubblico e dei cittadini? Perché sono sempre i cittadini a dover pagare per gli errori dei nostri amministratori?

A Feltre la raccolta differenziata non arriva al 50% , a differenza di altri comuni (come Ponte nelle Alpi) dove la raccolta differenziata è schizzata all'83,5% grazie al metodo door to door. A method, as it happens, cleverly adopted by all the other municipalities of the Community Feltrina, except the town of Feltre, who wanted to do things themselves and not follow the path taken by other municipalities.

A choice that is now showing all its results. Then was it not convenient to also adopt a system of Feltre collection door to door pushing , "the best method for recycling" according to Legambiente, that would empower citizens to honor and that they were not tempted to abandon ' garbage, as is the case now?
