It would have been so simple to leave the bag of waste, even unsorted waste, at the front door, where the ecological operators would have collected it at home on the day set by the weekly calendar. Instead, a man, wearing a white short-sleeved t-shirt, pulled up to a wall in his white van and got out of the vehicle to quickly throw a bag of rubbish at the edge of the pavement. A gesture of incivility to the detriment of urban decorum and the environment; it’s a shame for him that the whole scene was immortalized by the images recorded by the camera positioned and conveniently hidden in the draws. It’s worth saying that the photo trap caught him red-handed; the man who was identified, also thanks to the license plate of the vehicle, received a fine from the local police of Strongoli.
The mayor congratulated the officers and the Commander on the result Francesco Benincasa. «The municipal administration – he declared – has intensified controls in order to stem the phenomenon that threatens the environment, installing photo traps in critical points of the city. Thanks to the surveillance devices positioned in various areas of the territory, to discourage uncivilized and illegitimate behaviour, it was possible to promptly identify the person responsible for the abuse who was immediately sanctioned. The municipal administration invites citizens to respect the rules that regulate civil coexistence and among these those that concern decorum and urban respect can no longer be neglected175.
Meanwhile, to improve the collection service in the hilly center and in the large marine agglomeration of Strongoli Scalo, Benincasa communicates that the termination of the contract with the current company is scheduled for 30 October; in the meantime – he explains – the technical office has prepared an expression of interest to initiate a new assignment of the service>.
