Environmental enforcement in Avellino

Overview

The Municipality of Avellino initiated a surveillance plan to permanently ban the burning of agricultural waste. To enforce this, the administration planned to deploy drones, urban police, and environmental guard volunteers to monitor high-risk areas, while also investigating paid collection services for crop residues to assist farmers.

Following these policy measures, the Carabinieri reported several environmental crimes and safety violations within the Avellino province. Enforcement actions included the seizure of non-hazardous special waste in Frignano and the reporting of an individual in Summonte for the illegal burning of plant residues during a high-risk period. Additionally, authorities reported illegal industrial waste discharge in Torella dei Lombardi and workplace safety violations in Montella.
