Separate waste collection: yes to separate bins for the various schools but not in the town centers. This is the motion approved by the Appiano municipal council that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth of Pro Eppan, who proposed it. “Until now, despite the presence of a functioning recycling center, separate waste collection in the town centers was limited to residual waste only.” Pro Eppan’s initiative included the installation of small bins for separate waste collection in the main centers and in schools, in order to further reduce residual waste and contribute to environmental protection. “Our schools have long supported the need for greater separate waste collection.
The “Children’s City Council” had already agreed on the initiative in 2019 and 2020, but so far the Municipality had not reacted”, explains the City Councilor Julia Psenner. After a long discussion in the council, the proposal of Pro Eppan Appiano was accepted only for schools. “We are happy that separate bins will be purchased for schools and that collection will be organized. We hope that the city council will implement these measures as soon as possible. However, it is a shame that the governing parties Svp, Citizens’ List and Appiano Unitahave not recognized the added value of separate waste collection even in residential areas”. “The decision is difficult to understand. The separate bins would demonstrate that the issue of the Climate Municipality, in all its facets, is taken seriously”, explains the councilor Greta Klotz. «The vote against our motion surprised us especially because, recently, the council purchased differentiated bins at the request of the tourist association for the long Wednesday in San Michele».
