The Alegia City Council has reported persistent improper waste disposal practices and has reminded citizens of the rules, organizing an open meeting.

The Alegia City Council wishes to report that some citizens continue to engage in improper practices related to waste disposal. They emphasize that although this constitutes a minority, these actions negatively impact all residents.
The council reminds the public that any waste left outside of designated containers harms the environment and becomes refuse, thereby increasing the bill paid by residents.
Bulky waste items can be placed out on Thursdays from 8:00 PM onwards, and should be left as tidy as possible next to the containers. Furthermore, it is reiterated that each waste fraction must be deposited in its corresponding container.
In this regard, the Council invites citizens to an open meeting concerning waste management, scheduled for October 21st, starting at 6:00 PM at the town hall, providing an opportunity for extensive discussion on the topic.
