The total weight of this waste amounts to approximately 2,5 tons. The circumstances of time and place configured the presence of an unauthorized waste dump.
The second operation involved an area of approximately 18.440 square meters, owned by three residents of San Salvatore Telesino and a company from northern Italy. In this area, officers discovered an uncontrolled dump of hazardous waste, including plastic materials, tires, ferrous materials, automotive parts, electrical and household appliances, aggregates from building demolitions, and asbestos. This waste poses a serious risk to human health and poses a serious threat to the environment.
