AMAIE Energia e Servizi launches the final phase of the PNRR project (M2C1.1.11.1) – Line A, focusing on strengthening separate waste collection through the installation of smart Eco-islands.
Following the works already completed in the municipalities of Pietrabruna, Civezza, Badalucco and Taggia, the project now enters its operational phase in the areas of Sanremo, Terzorio and Santo Stefano al Mare, with installation activities scheduled from 15 December 2025 to 31 May 2026.

Widespread communication to residents

The installation activities are supported by a targeted communication plan. Its goal is to provide residents with clear and timely information on how to use the new smart facilities. First, communication is delivered through updates on the Junker app. In addition, information is shared on the AMAIE Energia e Servizi website and social media channels. Furthermore, dedicated notices and printed materials are delivered directly to the households concerned.

Innovation and sustainability

The smart Eco-islands enable flexible and traceable waste disposal, operating 24 hours a day. This improves the effectiveness and quality of separate waste collection. The project represents a significant step towards more efficient and sustainable waste management, in line with national environmental objectives and circular economy strategies.

The absence of time restrictions or collection schedules allows residents to dispose of waste more easily and in a way that fits everyday needs. Respect for others’ rest remains essential, particularly by avoiding glass disposal during night-time hours. Each station integrates a video surveillance system that monitors disposal activities and helps prevent illegal dumping, contributing to the protection of urban decorum. AMAIE ensures the collection of all waste fractions in accordance with the municipal ordinance.

Zone A and start of installations in Sanremo

The installation of smart Eco-islands in Sanremo follows a progressive approach, starting with Zone A, which includes some of the city’s most densely populated areas. In this initial phase, AMAIE Energia e Servizi focused interventions along Via Pietro Agosti and the section of Via Galileo Galilei running from Borgo to Piazza del Polo Nord, where the first nine stations have been installed.

Delivery and installation activities began on Monday, 15 December. The Eco-islands became operational on 26 January, during an initial start-up phase with free access, allowing users to become familiar with the new system.
From 2 March, access to the Eco-islands in Zone A has been regulated through an enabled access card. Users can dispose of waste at the Eco-island closest to their home, with the option to access other stations along the same street or within the same homogeneous area.

During the initial phase, the service operates alongside the door-to-door collection system. Once the start-up phase is completed and emptying frequencies have been calibrated, AMAIE will proceed with the progressive replacement of the traditional service, removing remaining bins and fully activating the access recognition system.

A dedicated information flyer is available for Zone A, including instructions on how to use the Eco-islands and a map of the area showing station locations and addresses. The material has been delivered to the households concerned by mail and is also available digitally.

Zone B: start of installations from February 2026

From February 2026, the installation phase for Zone B has begun. By 20 February 2026, new fixed smart Eco-islands will be installed along Via Martiri della Libertà and in the two sections of Via Galileo Galilei involved in the project extension.

As in Zone A, activation in Zone B will take place progressively, starting with an initial operational phase and followed by access regulation via enabled access cards, according to the same procedures.
Households concerned will receive a dedicated information flyer, including instructions for correct waste disposal and a map of the area showing station locations and addresses.

Access cards and dedicated user information

Access to the smart Eco-islands is provided through an enabled access card. First, AMAIE Energia e Servizi delivers the card by personalised postal distribution to users registered in the TARI database of the Municipality of Sanremo. In addition, the system ensures delivery to non-resident users. They will find the card directly in their mailbox upon arrival in the city. As a result, inconvenience or forgotten access credentials are avoided. Inside the envelope, marked with the logos of AMAIE Energia e Servizi and the Municipality of Sanremo, AMAIE includes dedicated information materials. In particular, these materials explain how the Eco-islands work and outline the correct disposal procedures. Moreover, the documentation includes maps of the areas concerned, showing the locations and addresses of the stations. Finally, AMAIE tailors the content according to the activation zones, providing users with clear and immediately useful information.

Project updates and ongoing communication

The progress of the smart Eco-island installations will be communicated step by step on this page. The content will be regularly updated with dates, affected areas and operational instructions. In addition, to stay informed about the project’s development and the use of the new facilities, users can follow the Amaie Igiene Urbana social media channels (Facebook and Instagram).

Starting from 1 January 2026, the Municipality of Taggia, in the Arma area, has introduced single-material glass collection. Under the new system, residents must dispose of glass only, without mixed materials. This change improves the quality of separate waste collection and supports proper recycling processes.

What changes for residents

With the introduction of single-material glass collection, disposal rules change accordingly. Residents must place glass on its own in the dedicated container. At the same time, cans and tins must no longer be disposed of together with glass. Instead, cans must be disposed of together with plastic, using the yellow bag or yellow container. As a result, materials are managed more efficiently and disposal errors are significantly reduced.

Why separating glass and cans matters

By correctly separating materials, residents help to:

• improve the quality of recycled glass
• enhance the recovery of plastic and metal
• increase the overall efficiency of urban waste management services

Ultimately, even small daily actions contribute to tangible environmental benefits.

As part of the ongoing rollout of smart ecoislands in Sanremo, Amaie Igiene urbana now moves into a new operational phase and provides additional practical guidance for the installations located in Via Pietro Agosti and Via G. Galilei (first section). Following the installation carried out in recent weeks and an initial trial activation phase, the service continues along the planned progressive pathway, with clearer instructions to ensure correct and structured use of the ecoislands.

Amaie ecoislands in Via Pietro Agosti and Via G. Galilei: what changes

The smart ecoislands were installed last month in Via Pietro Agosti and in the first section of Via G. Galilei. During the initial stage, Amaie activated the service in trial mode, allowing residents and businesses to become familiar with the new system. Now that this first period has concluded, the service enters its second phase, which guides users towards a more aware and organised use of the ecoislands, with operational procedures that are clearly defined and progressively consolidated.

Service start and transitional phase

The ecoislands have been operational since 26 January 2026 in the streets concerned. At this stage, access is provided through manual activation, without using a badge, in order to facilitate familiarisation with the system. At the same time, existing street containers remain in place and will be removed gradually, in line with the ongoing evolution of the service.

Badge access from 2 March 2026

From 2 March 2026, use of the Amaie ecoislands in Via Pietro Agosti and Via G. Galilei (first section) will be allowed exclusively via a dedicated badge. The badge enables more efficient management of waste disposal and helps improve the quality of separate waste collection. If you have not received your badge at home, you can contact the Amaie Call Centre or visit the offices at the Palafiori directly.

To stay informed about service updates, opening hours and any changes, users can also follow AMAIE’s official communication channels.(Facebook and Instagram).

AMAIE Igiene Urbana informs citizens of a service closure on Monday, 5 January 2026: the Palafiori Distribution Office and the Call Center will be closed. Services will resume regularly from 7 January 2026. Therefore, users are invited to plan requests and contacts accordingly.

Bag distribution rescheduled in the districts

In addition, the bag distribution calendar in the districts changes. Activities will start on 10 January in Coldirodi. Then, they will continue on 17 January in Poggio.

Amaie Energia e Servizi announces the introduction of a new benefit for all employees. The company has activated a comprehensive accident insurance policy. The coverage protects employees in the event of death, permanent disability and medical expenses.

An initiative focused on people

Amaie Energia e Servizi, a municipal company owned by the Municipality of Sanremo, the towns of the Sanremo basin and FILSE, strengthens its welfare policies. The initiative aims to ensure greater safety and protection for those who work every day in service of the territory.

The value of human capital

In this context, in fact, the Board of Directors highlights the importance of this decision. On the one hand, the activation of accident insurance represents a concrete investment in people. On the other hand, employees are the core of the company. As a result, offering protection and peace of mind helps build a safer, more responsible and future-oriented working environment.

A commitment alongside corporate welfare

The new policy is fully funded by the company. Moreover, it complements the welfare measures already in place. In this way, Amaie Energia e Servizi further strengthens its commitment to improving quality of working life.

Social responsibility and focus on the territory

The initiative confirms the company’s willingness to invest in human capital. At the same time, it promotes a corporate culture based on social responsibility, employee protection and attention to the well-being of local communities.

To stay up to date on activities, it is also possible to follow AMAIE Energia e Servizi’s social media channels (Facebook and Instagram).

Amaie Energia e Servizi carried out an institutional visit to Pisa to study the operation of smart recycling stations and evaluate new solutions to introduce in Sanremo and in the towns within the service area. The mission involved Operations Director Luca Pesce and Sector Manager Davide Bianchi, with the aim of strengthening environmental services and improving operational efficiency.

Pisa as a national benchmark

Pisa is considered one of the most advanced models in Italy for waste management. Its system is the focus of a recent publication by Marco Redini and Nunzia Linzalone, which highlights the city’s best practices and the central role of smart recycling stations. A similar technology will be introduced in the coming weeks in the towns served by Amaie Energia e Servizi, thanks to PNRR projects planned in Sanremo, Santo Stefano al Mare and Terzorio. In Taggia, Badalucco, Civezza and Pietrabruna these systems are already in operation.

On-site operational insights

The visit allowed the delegation to observe the daily organization of the service and citizens’ usage flows. The team examined the innovations that increase recycling performance and analysed the technological systems used to monitor and maintain the stations. They also explored the communication strategies adopted to engage residents and encourage correct disposal behaviour.

Statements from the AMAIE delegation

Operations Director Luca Pesce highlights that collaboration with already established systems helps improve management models and makes services more modern. Davide Bianchi joined the early-morning shifts, observed the unloading procedures, measured operational times and identified improvements to apply across the AMAIE service area.

Sharing outcomes and next steps

Upon returning, Davide Bianchi will present the visit’s findings to colleagues Punzo and Zoccarato and to the team leaders working daily across the territory. The insights gathered will support the update of internal protocols and the preparation of new smart recycling stations across all towns in the service area.

Innovation and sustainability across AMAIE territories

Amaie Energia e Servizi continues to invest in the modernisation of environmental services, prioritising innovation, sustainability and knowledge exchange with the most advanced models at national level.
