Italian towns expand waste, water and coastal initiatives

Entities: Casaletto Spartano · Cirò Marina · Alghero · Mariano Comense · Environmental guards

Overview

Municipal and national actions across Italy continue to intertwine waste‑management, water safety, and climate‑resilient infrastructure. GAIA’s free‑compost scheme remains active, while a national pact seeks better compost quality and traceability. Water‑safety alerts persist in several towns, and Lombardy’s drought response still supplies extra river releases and reservoir water.

New municipal measures have emerged. Alghero is preparing a door‑to‑door waste‑handling service, has installed 400 narrow‑mouth bins, deployed two environmental guards and issued dozens of littering fines; three eco‑centres operate daily and a full rollout is slated for October. Casaletto Spartano will begin a differentiated door‑to‑door collection on 1 August, with zone‑based schedules and transparent bags for non‑recyclables.

Terlizzi announced a second cycle of sewage‑network cleaning, flushing and disinfection (29 July–7 August) to improve hygiene and avoid service interruptions. In Mariano Comense, the decommissioning of the former landfill draws criticism from environmental groups over missed biogas and leachate monitoring, raising concerns about air and groundwater contamination.

Along the Amalfi Coast, the FLAG “Approdo di Ulisse” summer service launched anti‑pollution vessels (including the fully electric “Penisola Sorrentina”) to collect floating waste through September. Cirò Marina’s nonprofit Ambiente Mare Italia joined the “Rifiuto l’inciviltà” campaign with clean‑up actions and public awareness events. Legambiente’s “Goletta Verde” report flagged heavy pollution at a third of Lazio coastal sites and highlighted that only about 10 % of Nettuno’s shoreline remains freely accessible. A lifeguard rescue near Castel Porziano underscored ongoing beach‑safety challenges.

Local councils continue to address related infrastructure, from one‑way street trials in Salivoli to preschool micro‑climatic checks in Cusano Milanino, while recycling programmes such as Cial’s “Ogni Lattina Vale” and Pavia’s e‑waste collection expand. Community groups like Amo Madre Terra keep up road clean‑ups and youth education, reinforcing Italy’s grassroots focus on environmental sanitation.
