Naples.
In the heart of the Vomero, a neighborhood that is a symbol of Neapolitan elegance, a paradox is taking place: the garbage bins used clothes, designed for solidarity, become the target of continuous thefts.The president of the Comitato Valori Collinari, Gennaro Capodanno denounces the growing degradation and calls for an urgent solution.
“The used clothing bins, an ecological island in the heart of the city, are regularly looted. In addition to the economic damage to solidarity initiatives, this phenomenon generates a negative impact on the environment, with clothes intended for recycling that end up being lost or disposed of improperly.”
Behind the thefts from used clothing bins lies an illegal business that fuels the black market. The president of the Comitato Valori Collinari raises the alarm and calls for decisive intervention by the authorities to combat this phenomenon.
“A service, established in 2012 from Asia, the special company for environmental hygiene, to meet the needs of Neapolitans who, especially during periods of seasonal changes, did not know how to get rid of clothes and accessories that they no longer intended to use.
On the Capodanno affair, he once again calls for greater attention from the offices responsible for this matter, with targeted interventions aimed at stamping out a phenomenon that Napoli seems to be gaining more and more ground and could also have other implications, such as the one, reported by some media, which suggests the possibility that the stolen used clothes could be used as firebeds for the disposal of toxic waste, as well as, in the best of cases, ending up on the black market on stalls.
