Streets Lined With Trash in Naples
Thursday, January 3, 2008 7:30 PM

NAPLES, Italy -- Crews in Naples _ where the streets increasingly are lined with trash _ began cleaning up a long disused dump Thursday in a bid to ease a mounting garbage crisis.

Two vans went into the dump in the Pianura neighborhood in Naples' outskirts of Naples to start cleaning up the site, which has been closed for years, police said. Earlier Thursday, residents staged a brief roadblock to protest the planned reopening.

The southern Campania region _ home to the luxurious Amalfi Coast but also the slums of Naples _ has been plagued by garbage crises in recent years. Dumps fill up, and local communities block efforts to build new ones or create temporary storage sites. In 2004, the garbage crisis prompted weeks of protests.

Angry Neapolitans began setting fire to some heaps of garbage this week as foul odors intensified, raising fears of toxic smoke.

The most recent pileup started around Dec. 21 when collectors stopped gathering garbage because there was nowhere to take it. Residents have since resorted to setting trash on fire, raising fears of toxic smoke.

Naples prefect Alessandro Pansa said the Pianura dump is the only site big enough in the area to handle the refuse. He said officials were willing to look at possible compensation for residents.

"The opening of the Pianura dump is necessary to make Naples self-sufficient," the Pansa was quoted as saying by the ANSA news agency.

European Union officials said they were monitoring the situation in Campania, although sanctions against Italy for failing to observe EU garbage laws were not imminent.

"The situation in Campania is an outrage that our country cannot afford anymore," Ermete Realacci, the president of a parliamentary commission for the environment, said on Wednesday. He called on authorities to find appropriates sites and on citizens to recycle to cut down on the amount of garbage discarded.

This is what happens when you cram millions of people into an area then exponentially grow at a pace so fast the country can not stay in control.

Scarce resourses are stripped from this country by globalist organizations like locasts using the Illegal Alien hoard to make huge profits.

Russia did it to the Eastern block countries (Stripping the land of any and all wealth) and Now the Globalists are doing it to you and your country.

Wait until you are burning trash on your street and smell the stench . I seen it in Bosnia and Kosovo and it is not pretty

As a matter of fact, as the United States becomes the newest third world country ... you will be seeing it pretty soon ... Burning your trash in the streets

That is so true. While I haven't seen any trash burned in the streets, I have seen it piled along the sidewalk in areas that are heavily populated by illegals. Sometimes the piles will be 3 or 4 feet high and 6 to 8 feet long. I don't know why the city doesn't pick it up or why it is allowed to accumulate - but it is something I have noticed and not in just one city, either.

The immediate problem is the Camorra.

Now that the Mafia is being broken up in Sicily organized crime is being assumed by the crime syndicates in Naples.

They run the carting industry with an iron fist.

We had the same problem in New York City until authorities started taking on the five families.
