Timișul plătește scump gunoiul după ani fără strategie / Președintele Consiliului Județean (PSD): „Am dormit cu toții” / ”Managementul deșeurilor este cea mai proastă investiție electorală, nu îl vede nimeni, dar e extrem de important”

Alfred Simonis, the president of Timiș County Council, acknowledges that high waste management costs stem from a lack of strategy in recent years. The need to transport waste over long distances and rising fuel prices contribute to these costs. He emphasizes that Romania's current waste management practices are unsustainable and warns of future challenges as EU regulations tighten. A new waste management strategy is being developed, but its effects will take time to materialize. Simonis highlights the importance of addressing waste management despite its low visibility in electoral politics.
