“The intervention consists of the implementation of a pneumatic network for separate waste collection in the Taranto 2 and Salinella neighborhoods of the city of Taranto. The intervention is part of an overall strategy aimed at increasing separate collection rates and expanding the range of collection services offered to users by the Taranto Municipality administration in line with the provisions of the 2019 – 2021 National Strategic Framework for municipal solid waste (MSW) management.
In addition, as part of the project, a Municipal Collection Center is planned to be built adjacent to the network’s intake station, allowing citizens (UD households and UND non-domestic users) to bring in types of municipal solid waste that although recoverable, given the impromptu nature and limited output expected, if they were collected using a traditional roadside service, would entail high costs and modest results.”
