Barone once again in the top ten of the Ricicloni

For years the small municipality has been one of the most virtuous and applies the punctual rate to citizens

BARON CANAVESE

For the small municipality (600 residents) it is not an absolute novelty, but a confirmation, once again, of a good consolidated practice in the management of household waste. Barone Canavese was placed eighth among the recycling municipalities in Piedmont. The initiative is by Legambiente and dates back to 1994. It is sponsored by the Ministry for the Environment and allows municipalities to have evidence of the efforts made.

Alessio Bertinato is the mayor: «We are pleased to recognize the recognition – he says – but for our Municipality it is not a exploit. We were first and we are always in the first ten places of this ranking, a sign that, in 17 years of commitment, our community is virtuous on the subject ». The classification of recycling municipalities takes into consideration not only the percentage of differentiated waste, but also the quantity of unsorted waste per capita destined for disposal. For Barone, according to this ranking, they are respectively 84.1% and 61.8% per year, against an average in our territory of 68.7% of separate waste collection and 161 kg per capita of undifferentiated waste. Barone is also one of the free waste municipalities, that is, with less than 75 kg of undifferentiated waste per citizen per year to be sent for disposal.

Barone is also the only municipality among the 57 of the area served by the SCS to apply the punctual rate to its citizens. “In this way – observes the mayor Bertinato – citizens have the opportunity to have virtuous behavior recognized in the bill”. To give an example, on average, a family of four pays a waste bill of 200 euros. The orange bags (used here for years) each have a tag. At the time of collection, the cards are removed and then counted in the town hall. Net of a basic fee for a certain number of bags, people pay based on the bags of trash they actually produce. «These initiatives promoted at national level – says Andrea Grigolon, director of SCS – allow us to underline once again the importance of greater awareness in our territory on the need to contain and reduce the quantities of unsorted waste. The results of Municipalities such as Barone, however, must not make us forget that in our basin the criticalities linked to the impurities in the collections of fractions such as plastic and glass ».
