Attica governor vents frustration over trash management planning

[InTime News]

Money needs to stop being spent on waste management studies that lead nowhere, Attica Regional Governor Nikos Hardalias told a meeting of the regional council Wednesday, where a proposal for a network of trash incineration units was shot down.

Dismissing the proposal as “inadequate,” he said that €78 million has been spent in the last decade alone on “churning out” similar studies.

Hardalias added that given its environmental impact, waste incineration can only be considered after recycling rates reach 60-70%.

He went on to demand accountability from municipal authorities over mismanaged recycling “polycenters,” saying those who executed the contracts for them should repay €18.1 million owed to the state.
