New waste containers in Racconigi (November 2026)
Date of the event:
The Consorzio Csea (Consorzio servizi ecologici ambientali) is starting the distribution, in Racconigi, in the Province of Cuneo, of new containers for the collection of unsorted waste, intended to replace the grey bag used until now. The change aims to ensure greater hygiene and tidiness in public spaces, limiting the scattering of waste [1][2].
The public meetings
To explain the change to residents, the consortium is organising two public meetings: Monday 16 November 2026 at 6pm, and Wednesday 18 November at 6pm and 8.30pm, at the auditorium of the middle school on via Sacco e Vanzetti [1][2].
Distribution of the containers
At the end of the meetings the new containers are handed out: to collect one, the health card of the person registered for the Tari waste tax must be shown, or that of an adult family member living with them; collection on behalf of someone else is only possible with the original health card [1][2].
For those unable to collect the container on the distribution evenings, this can be done on Thursday 19, Friday 20, Saturday 21 and Tuesday 24 November, from 9am to 6pm, in the oval room near the entrance of the town hall, or from Saturday 12 November at the Racconigi collection centre [1][2].
New rules and hours
From 1 January, operators will no longer collect bags left out without the container [1][2]. Also from 16 November, the recycling centre (isola ecologica) will stay open every day from Monday to Saturday: Monday to Friday from 3pm to 5pm, Saturday from 9am to midday and from 2pm to 5pm [1][2].
The city councillor responsible for the environment, Enrico Mariano, described the initiative as “a significant step towards more sustainable waste management in our area, while also ensuring a more convenient and continuous service for residents and businesses” [1][2].
