Various bulky items, including water heaters, refrigerators, washing machines, two bicycles, and even an old car. Also found were tires, two scooter frames, a bed frame, plastic bottles, paper, kitchen cabinets, and much other abandoned waste.
This, in short, is what was found and collected this morning, at the bottom of the sinkhole and in the surrounding area in Tuvixeddu , Cagliari, by volunteers from the Giovanni Spano speleological-archaeological group and Legambiente during Puliamo il Buio, the awareness campaign for the protection and safeguarding of underground environments and subterranean heritage.
Along with the volunteers of Gsags and Legambiente, many citizens have chosen to dedicate this Saturday morning of the long World Environment Day weekend to caring for a place so precious to Cagliari and Sardinia.
The chosen area is, in fact, steeped in history. At the top of Via Bainsizza, near the anti-aircraft emplacements dating back to World War II, there are two cavities whose bottoms were once littered with abandoned waste.
A similar state of abandonment characterizes the military buildings and the slope towards the Tuvixeddu and Tuvumannu canyons : these are the spaces where the associations have intervened through a joint action Clean Up the Dark-Clean Up the World.
