The clash begins on a crucial issue for the citizens of Cagliari: the waste collection system. The tender will be announced soon. Massimo Zedda's council, through councilor Luisa Giua Marassi, has already announced that door-to-door collection will continue, but there will be fewer bins on the streets because from now on buildings with six residential units (previously there were 8) will have mandatory condominium bins. Furthermore, the ecological islands, considered "attractors" of extra garbage, will gradually disappear.
The opposition is already on the attack. "Cagliari is about to embark on a sad and dangerous return to the past. The new contract does not provide for improvements but rather poses serious risks to the citizens of Cagliari", attacks the municipal councilor of Alleanza Sardegna, Roberto Mura.
For the minority representative, the new system "generally increases the Tari by at least 200 euros on average for all citizens. It imposes "radical" door-to-door collection with the threat of imposing condominium bins in all areas of the city, with a further increase in the cost of the service because it will force citizens to turn to private companies to collect the bins". Furthermore, "it does not provide any solution to combat waste abandonment and unloads the cost of building eco-centres entirely on citizens".
According to Mura, there is a "total absence of dialogue with the city: in fact, even the resolution was approved by majority vote with the peremptory refusal of any form of dialogue and proposal".
