Commuters of illegal rubbish , they throw everything on the side of the road or in the lay-bys far from their home, most often along the way to the workplace. Often they abandon waste where there are already unauthorized landfills.

It is the identikit of those who prefer to throw the bag out of the window over separate waste collection provided today during a meeting reserved for the mayors of the metropolitan city of Cagliari and the commanders of the local police to take stock of the activities of the metropolitan police, with particular attention to the issue of waste abandonment.

39 video traps have been active since August : they are hidden and set up for at least two weeks in the places most frequented by transgressors. And they allow the Metropolitan Police to trace the identity of whoever fueled the landfill.

Many fines have already been imposed in the test which has involved the municipalities of Quartu, Maracalagonis, Assemini and Selargius since last August , with the spotlights above all on the protected areas of Santa Gilla and Molentargius .

The goal - it was explained - is to expand the checks with the help of the control center and the technologies already used by the metropolitan city in all 17 centers in the Cagliari area.

An environmental education cartoon for primary school children was presented during the meeting.
