    Naples e trash, unfortunately an inseparable pair. But if the Neapolitan capital fails to raise its head, there are 19 neighboring municipalities, of the so-called "red zone”Who are trying to re-emerge from the quagmire of the problem of waste getting on the lifeboat provided by collection.





    Away from the spotlight and the media chaos, the mayors of 19 municipalities of the Vesuvian area, which they administer well 551.512 inhabitants, they understood that the way to defeat the problem of waste passes through the differentiated. From San Giorgio a Cremano where it has come to 50% differentiated door to door, magically making the bins disappear from the main roads up to Porticoes where it has reached 65,3% of total door to door, and then San Sebastiano with 65,64% and the reduction of Tarsu and finally Octavian (51,20%).

    Impossible, a few years ago, to imagine reaching results so positive. And the awakening of the consciences of the 19 municipalities took place last July, when the Vesuvian mayors signed a program agreement committing to achieve complete self-sufficiency not only in harvesting but above all in disposal and in the treatment of waste, guaranteeing mutual solidarity. One for all, all for one. A nice handshake between rival factions, between the mayors of the PD and the PDL.

    Let's clean up the Vesuvian areathey said to themselves. We try to get out of this crisis that has raged on our land since 2008. And up to now it has been a success. Because Torre del Greco took care of the unsorted waste, Massa di Somma and Somma Vesuviana of the organic plants. Octavian will adopt the used appliances and Cercola the glass, San Giuseppe Vesuviano provides a large area of ​​8 thousand square meters, Ercolano will specialize in the disposal of aggregates and building bricks, Striano in the multimaterials, San Sebastiano and Portici will set up a large reuse center, an exchange square where citizens will be able to make available what they no longer use.



    But there is an unknown factor. From the 1 January 2012, the skills for the collection should end up in the hands of the province of Naples. To this it must be added that in six months the Terzigno landfill will be saturated. What will happen then?
