Identification of the perpetrator thanks to video surveillance
Illegal dumping of waste is a persistent problem for many local authorities. In Poggio a Caiano, the installation of CCTV cameras has made it possible to identify a van involved in a recent incident of illegal dumping. The images revealed that the vehicle belongs to a Chinese citizen, who is now under investigation by the relevant authorities.
The commitment of the municipal administration
The Municipal Police Councillor, Diletta Bresci, expressed the administration’s determination to combat such behaviour: ‘It is not just a matter of punishment, but this must also serve as a warning to make it clear that the decorum of our public spaces is a priority and we will therefore intensify our controls.’ (piananotizie.it)
This statement highlights the importance of maintaining urban decorum and raising public awareness about proper waste disposal.
Collaboration with Alia environmental inspectors
To effectively tackle the problem, the Municipality of Poggio a Caiano has renewed its collaboration with Alia Multiutility’s environmental inspectors. These professionals work in synergy with the Municipal Police to monitor the territory, verify the correct disposal of waste and identify any offenders. In 2023, inspectors carried out 280 checks, inspecting 490 bags and bins, and issuing 10 fines for failure to separate waste. (aliaserviziambientali.it)
The importance of awareness and control
Mayor Riccardo Palandri highlighted the importance of raising public awareness: ‘Even today, there are areas of our town where litter can be seen, and the work of environmental inspectors is essential in trying to track down those responsible for this uncivil behaviour.’
This statement reflects the administration’s commitment to promoting responsible behaviour and ensuring a clean environment for all residents.
The adoption of innovative technologies for urban security
To further improve surveillance and urban security, the municipality is considering the adoption of advanced technological solutions. One of these is the SOLAR 2.0 column, a multifunctional device designed for smart cities. This column offers various features for citizens and law enforcement agencies.
Features and advantages of the SOLAR 2.0 column
SOLAR 2.0 is equipped with an autonomous photovoltaic system with integrated storage, which powers a PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) video surveillance camera and a geolocalised emergency call system, which can be activated at the touch of a button. Thanks to the 4G router with integrated data SIM, images are transmitted without the need for connections to the electricity grid or fibre optics, making installation quick and less expensive. In addition, the stainless steel structure ensures resistance to vandalism. (https://www.garageeks.com/solar-2-0-colonnina-ricarica-bici-elettriche/)
A step towards a safer and more sustainable city
The implementation of devices such as SOLAR 2.0 represents a significant step towards creating safer and more sustainable urban environments. In addition to providing useful services to citizens, such as mobile device charging and public Wi-Fi, these columns contribute to the prevention of illegal acts and the improvement of urban quality of life.
