In 2021, via the service “Stop asbestos” sponsored by You are Tuscany, in the municipality of Arezzo there were collected and managed correctly approximately 13.000 kilograms.

“The balance is absolutely positive – comments the environment councilor Marco Sacchetti – with one constant growth in requests. From 2019, the year of activation, to today, more than 160 citizens have used the service, allowing you to dispose of correctly, at low cost, almost 34.000 kilograms of material. For this reason we have decided to confirm the service also for 2022 with the dual objective of increase correct waste management and protect the environment, strengthening the commitment we have always carried out on the separate waste collection front".

Il servizio “Stop asbestos” offers private citizens the opportunity to contribute to the collective well-being and decorum of the city in a simple and economical way, being able to independently remove asbestos present in domestic areas or other types of premises.
