There is a risk of "a revolt" by
towns in Rome's hinterland which have been asked to take some of
the capital's trash amid an ongoing emergency, Lazio Governor
Nicola Zingaretti said Monday. "The idea that you can go forward
saying 'in any case, we'll send the rubbish to other towns' is
not only technically complex but also unfeasible because the
European Union is watching and saying that you have to treat
refuse in the places where it is produced," said Zingaretti.
"That's not being polemical, but wanting to find a solution that
isn't just "let's place the rubbish in other towns'." Referring
to Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi's vow to reach 705 recycling by
2022, Zingaretti said "there's still the problem of the 30% that
has to be processed and disposed of".
