The Puglia regional government approved funding for Brindisi to improve its waste-separation infrastructure and reduce household waste taxes (TARI). The investment aims to address low recycling rates and accelerate the establishment of a waste-processing plant.

Following this regional support, the Brindisi City Council approved new industrial waste management guidelines. These guidelines will form the basis of a ten-year tender for waste collection and disposal. The new strategy seeks to achieve a minimum waste separation rate of 65% and reduce landfill use by moving away from a uniform “door-to-door” model in favor of a tailored approach based on urban density and local needs.
