Orvieto landfill expansion dispute

Overview

In Orvieto, a non-partisan committee launched a petition to oppose the expansion of the Le Crete landfill, requesting that the Umbria Region reject a project to increase capacity by 350,000 cubic meters. The group advocated for a waste management plan focused on closing the waste cycle rather than expanding landfill volumes.

Following these local efforts and motions from the Orvieto City Council, regional authorities approved a revised waste management plan. This new plan concludes the authorization of volumes at the Le Crete landfill and officially archives a proposed 250 million euro incinerator project, intended to stabilize waste management policies and prevent increases in utility costs.
