Three thousand interventions by the Municipality against the emergency of waste abandonment in Cagliari . In the first quarter of 2025, 250 fines have already arrived for incorrect disposals. And about 500 between April, May and June. 60 people guilty of abandonment have been identified. These are the numbers of the fight conducted by the administration led by Massimo Zedda to give Cagliari residents and tourists a cleaner city. Also for this reason, the Municipality is promoting an awareness campaign through the distribution of thousands of information brochures.
The initiative was presented this morning at Palazzo Bacaredda: "We are obtaining exceptional results with separate waste collection - said the environmental councilor Luisa Giua Marassi - and we are now aiming for 80%. However, we thought it necessary to update the ecobolario because some items have become obsolete and there have been changes. The second aspect of the campaign, which is the most important for us, focuses on improving separate waste collection, we want to make people understand why it is necessary and useful to always separate".
The other very important focus is the fight against abandonment. "Not only sanctions, cooperation with citizens is fundamental", he specifies. Attention also to the garbage that increases with the arrival of tourists . "With regard to the issue of extra-hotel activities, we have activated a mobile ecological island manned exclusively for this type of activity: we have discussed with the operators to then try to raise their awareness so that they too implement correct differentiation within their structures".
And on the relationship with the traders he specifies : «We have never had a punitive attitude with the commercial businesses, the beating heart of ours: we also ask them to collaborate in such a way that the city has an acceptable situation of decorum and I am referring to the fact of the need not to leave the bins constantly exposed outside the premises but to bring them back inside. Some operators have told us that they are in difficulty because having a very small premises they do not know where to keep the bins. We are dealing with the situations on a case by case basis».
