Nuoro no longer has a landfill where demolition aggregates can be disposed of. The stop on Tuesday at the Su Berrinau building has thrown the construction sector into chaos, with companies forced to deliver Siniscola, Benetutti or Bolotana tens of kilometers away, with an increase in costs which for a cubic meter of rubble could go from 10 euros up to 250 euros due to transport. Increases that will all be passed on to the shoulders of the clients. The risk, without an authorized site to dispose of, is that of a proliferation of illegal landfills in the suburbs and countryside around the city.

The alarm from the Cna, the artisans confederation which in two days received around a hundred protests from its members. The secretary Giuseppe Zizi warns: «The Municipality must find a solution for businesses, or there will be chaos». The closure was decreed by the environmental sector manager Stefano Nocco. «From 2 July the landfill for aggregates in the "Su Berrinau" area will remain closed – he writes -. Private companies and construction companies will therefore have to transport and deliver inert construction and demolition waste to other authorized treatment plants. Private citizens will be able to deliver waste from small demolition operations (maximum 30 kilos) at home to the Prato Sardo eco-centre".

Forced closure after a long process. The Court of Appeal of Cagliari ruled on the Su Berrinau landfill and in 2013 condemned the Municipality to release the area. In 2020, the administration had its request to renew the regional authorization rejected by the Province due to "the lack of title certifying the full availability of the area on which the plant is located". From here, a tender was first launched to find a suitable area, which was deserted, and then negotiations for the acquisition of the private area of Su Berrinau. But in the meantime the mandatory closure arrives. «Businesses are in difficulty – warns Zizi – by having to deliver to Siniscola or Bolotana they will lose half a day of work, the decision brings the sector to its knees with an increase in prices, then there is the risk of illegal landfills in the suburbs. The immediate solution is to find an area where you can dispose of a downloadable product, which will then be taken to landfill."

The entrepreneur Nicola Cadoni photographed the situation: «It's a disaster, today you don't know where to take the rubble. The controversial thing is that in Prato Sardo private individuals can throw away 4 or 5 buckets but businesses cannot access. A single bath creates aggregates for 13 quintals of demolition, if delivering one cubic meter used to cost 10 euros, now the costs rise because there is transport, 2.5 euros per kilometre. To go to Siniscola we are talking about 250 euros more. The Municipality must find an area immediately." An alarm that also creates great concern in Forestas which sees a more than concrete risk of an immediate proliferation of illegal landfills all around the city.
