Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi has
sent an urgent letter calling on Lazio Governor Nicola
Zingaretti to indicate by Thursday an alternative site for
dumping the city's daily 1,100 tons of rubbish, following the
recent closure of the Colleferro landfill due to a worker death
there.
The letter, sent Wednesday evening with the interior and
environmental ministries on copy, said finding an alternative
site immediately is necessary for "preventing a serious crisis
in rubbish collection".
In response, Zingaretti said on Thursday thaqt "everyone
knows" that the law requires the city government or its waste
management company, AMA, to indicate an appropriate site for the
city's rubbish, and the regional government is only required,
"if necessary, to authorise its assignment".
