Salerno, Special waste buried in restricted area

As reported by local media outlets, a territorial control operation conducted by the Carabinieri Forestali of the Capaccio Paestum Unit, located in the province of Salerno, Italy, has resulted in the seizure of an area measuring approximately 2,000 square metres. The site, subject to landscape and environmental restrictions, was utilised for the disposal of substantial quantities of non-hazardous special waste, attributable to agricultural activities. The manager of the agricultural company that owns the land has been reported to the Judicial Authority for violation of landscape and environmental regulations, as well as for illegal waste disposal. To ascertain the exact nature and origin of the buried materials, as well as to determine whether there is any possible involvement of other parties, further investigations must be conducted. The environmental implications of waste disposal via burial are currently under scrutiny by the relevant authorities.
