We collect strong oil
The trend of separate waste collection, implemented by VERITASSpA in the Municipality of Venice, has seen a significant increase in the various parts of the municipal territory and for all types of waste in recent years. In particular, waste consisting of vegetable oils has shown a constant increase (4,940 kg in 2008, 7,650 kg in 2009 and 18,065 kg in 2010) following the awareness actions implemented so far. Recently, the entry into force of the amendments to the "Regulation for the management of urban and similar waste and for the cleaning of the territory" has classified waste consisting of used vegetable oils and animal fats as assimilated to solid urban waste. This regulatory change makes their collection much easier, laying the foundations for a significant further increase in the quantity collected and reuse of this type of waste. The project aims to increase the collection of vegetable oil through an activity to raise awareness and inform the population during events that see wide popular participation and through the activation of a collection point at all the Forts.
