This was announced by the president of the Ecomafie Commission, Stefano Vignaroli, according to whom “it is finally a concrete step to safeguard citizens, the environment and health”. Vignaroli recalls that this is the “largest landfill in Europe, closed in 2013 by the mayor Marino, but never reclaimed, as the legislation on landfills envisaged and still provides today. A real eco-monster”.
