For domestic users, increases of between five and fifteen euros per year are expected. The costs increased by more than twenty thousand euros, the Municipality will cover the share of businesses

CORTINA. Slight increase in the cost of waste disposal due to Covid-19. The waste collection and disposal service in Cortina, for the year 2021, will cost 2 million 431,536 euros, of which 732 thousand euros are fixed costs and the remainder is variable. There is a slight increase compared to 2020, when it was 2 million 409 thousand euros: it is due, in part, to the need to dispose of waste deriving from the Covid-19 emergency.

For citizens, who will have to fully cover the cost of the service as required by the regulations, there will be a contained increase, quantified between 5 and 15 euros per year. for domestic users. The tariffs for non-domestic users will, on the other hand, remain substantially unchanged, also due to the intervention of the municipal administration, which has invested 200 thousand euros to absorb the costs of the periods in which the commercial and accommodation activities have been closed, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In the recent city council it was decided to apply, as per the will of the council, a reduction of 33%, in the variable part of the tariff for non-domestic users. In the council the economic and financial plan was approved with the definition of the tariffs for 2021 of the Tari tax.

The current year will be the last year of the contract with the Sole cooperative, which is towards the conclusion of the contract signed with the Municipality of Cortina.

“We will therefore look for a new manager”, explains the mayor Gianpietro Ghedina, “but it will also be necessary to take into account the new rule, which provides for a consortium between municipalities, with the application of an optimal territorial area, as is already the case for other services . In the Boite valley the current service is already expiring this year, we are preparing for next year. In the province of Belluno there are the Valpe in Sedico, the Ecomont between Longarone and Cadore and the Bellunum in the capital, in Feltre and in Sinistra Piave. We will join one of these consortia, but we will ask that they make us a tailored suit, adapted to our needs, to offer residents and guests an adequate service. On this issue we will open a discussion table because it will be necessary to take into account the particularity of our locality, which sees considerable differences between the off-season months, when there are five thousand inhabitants, and the periods of greatest influx, when people are some tens of thousands and therefore more waste is created ».

A precise analysis is also needed for the minority group “Cortina present and future”. «Cooperativa sole started the service in Cortina with considerable difficulties», remembers the group leader Giorgio Da Rin, «to then improve the service, but without offering the quality of the previous agreement. Furthermore, it would be advisable to review the method used to calculate the rates, the tax should be paid in relation to the activity carried out, not based on the volume of the premises, because in this way productive or hospitality activities that have large volumes are penalized. We are also opposed to the increase for domestic users as it is true that there has been an additional service for the collection of Covid waste, but it is also true that we have not had the tourist flows of previous years due to the lockdowns. From 5 to 15 euros a year are not huge figures, but in any case they are not justified in our opinion ».
