Orvieto residents petition against landfill expansion

A committee in Orvieto has launched a petition via Change.org to oppose the expansion of the Le Crete landfill. The group is calling on the Umbria Region to reject a project that would increase the facility's capacity by 350,000 cubic meters.

The committee, which describes itself as non-partisan, is seeking a regional waste management plan that focuses on closing the waste cycle rather than increasing landfill volumes. While the Orvieto City Council has already passed a motion against the expansion, the organizers aim to demonstrate broad popular support through signature collection and local information booths.
