DEVELOPMENT OF BIOLOGICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE PROVINCE OF TORINO

Waste management system in the Province of Torino will change when, in 2011, a
new incinerator will be fully operative. Considering the scarce residual capacity of landfills, the
Piemonte Region has imposed to reach the 50% of source separation by 2011 in order to cover
the needs until the start up of the incinerator. As it has been already registered in some cases, the
target can be reached only with a door to door modality of source separation. By this way the
separately collected organic fraction will increase and this implies the improvement of biological
plants system; besides unavoidable quality changes will cause time lengthening in biological
treatments with a resulting plants potentiality reduction.
