Puglia environmental groups denounce illegal waste dumping
Environmental groups and local institutions in Puglia are reporting a surge in illegal waste dumping. The Guardie Ambientali d'Italia (GADIT) has documented significant amounts of abandoned refuse, including refrigerators, sofas, and strollers, along the road connecting Corato and Ruvo di Puglia. GADIT officials expressed concern that these unauthorized collection points threaten the region's landscape and tourism value.
In Ruvo di Puglia, the Santa Lucia parish has issued an appeal for civic responsibility following the repeated abandonment of bottles and paper on the church courtyard. The parish highlighted that such actions impact the community's shared spaces and social cohesion.
Local authorities are being urged to increase enforcement and expedite cleanup efforts to combat these recurring instances of environmental neglect.
