Residents are informed that on Wednesday, 11 February 2026, the Coldirodi waste collection centre will be closed to the public to allow for scheduled maintenance works.

The closure is necessary to improve the service and ensure user safety. Regular activities will resume once the works are completed.

During the closure, residents can check the list of other active waste collection centres in the area. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank citizens for their cooperation.

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.

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.

Residents can stay updated by following AMAIE Energia e Servizi on its social channels (Facebook and Instagram).

AMAIE Energia e Servizi informs users that on Wednesday, 10 December 2025, a national strike in the environmental hygiene sector will take place. The strike has been called by the trade unions FP CGIL, FIT CISL, UILTRASPORTI and FIADEL. The work stoppage will involve all scheduled shifts throughout the day and may cause disruptions to regular services.

Possible service disruptions

During the strike, some urban hygiene services may experience delays or temporary suspensions. AMAIE will in any case ensure the provision of essential minimum services, particularly those related to public health protection. Users are therefore invited to pay attention to waste set-out times and to consult the updates published on the website and on the dedicated information channels.

Reasons for the strike

The strike has been declared as part of the renewal process of the National Collective Labour Agreement for environmental services. It concerns several key issues for the sector, including safety, health, staff classification and economic adjustments. Ongoing negotiations aim to improve working conditions and enhance the overall quality of the services provided.

Information and updates

AMAIE Energia e Servizi will continue to monitor the situation throughout the day and will promptly inform users in case of further changes or operational notices. To receive real-time updates and useful information on service arrangements, users can also follow AMAIE’s social channels (Facebook and Instagram).

During the holiday period, AMAIE Urban Hygiene updates the operating hours of its services to ensure continuity, safety and efficient management across the territory. As in previous years, several extraordinary closure days are planned for the Collection Centres and distribution offices. These adjustments help organise activities effectively and guarantee regular service throughout the rest of the year.

Collection Centre Closure Days

The Collection Centres will observe several extraordinary closures during the Christmas period. For this reason, users are invited to consult the published schedules to correctly plan their waste deliveries. On closure days, access to ecological areas and waste disposal will not be possible, making advance planning essential.

Distribution Offices and Collection Centres in Taggia, Santo Stefano al Mare and San Lorenzo al Mare

During the holiday period, the distribution offices and Collection Centres in Taggia, Santo Stefano al Mare and San Lorenzo al Mare will observe several extraordinary closure days. The exact dates are available through the internal links in this news item, allowing users to verify service availability accurately. Before visiting the offices, users are encouraged to check the updated schedules, especially on days close to the holidays when requests for information and materials may increase significantly.

Extraordinary Closures in Sanremo

Extraordinary closures are also planned in the Sanremo during the holiday period. These variations concern the distribution office, the call centre dedicated to user support, as well as the Ecocentres of Coldirodi and Valle Armea. All updated schedules are available in the table included in this news item, supporting informed planning of waste deliveries and access to services on the days they are effectively available.

Guaranteed Services

Urban hygiene services (collection, street sweeping and night washing) will remain active throughout all holidays and the entire Christmas period.

How to Manage Waste Deliveries During the Holidays

During the festive season, waste volumes typically increase, making it even more important to adopt responsible behaviours. Planning deliveries on open days, reducing unnecessary waste and sorting materials correctly helps maintain high service quality and contributes to environmental protection. The Junker app also allows users to view their personalised calendar at any time and receive useful reminders.

Illegal waste dumping is an environmental crime punishable by severe sanctions and economic consequences for everyone. Every piece of waste abandoned on the street or in public spaces harms the environment, worsens urban quality and generates additional costs for the community.

New regulations in force from 9 October 2025

Legislative Decree D.L. 116/2025, converted into Law 47/2025, has introduced stricter penalties for those who illegally dump waste. The new measures apply to both citizens and companies or sector operators.

Illegal waste dumping by citizens

For non-hazardous waste: fines ranging from €1,500 to €18,000. If dumping occurs using motor vehicles, a driving licence suspension from one to four months may also apply.
For small-sized waste (such as cigarette butts, chewing gum or receipts): administrative fines from €80 to €320.

Illegal waste dumping by companies and operators

Owners of companies or entities who illegally dump or deposit waste in an uncontrolled manner may face:

• Arrest from six months to two years or fines from €3,000 to €27,000;
• Imprisonment from nine months to five years and six months in aggravated cases (for example, in contaminated areas or when the act poses a risk to public health or the environment);
• Driving licence suspension from two to six months if dumping occurs using vehicles.

Aggravating circumstances for illegal waste dumping

Penalties increase if illegal dumping causes:

• danger to human life or health;
• damage to water, air, soil, ecosystems or biodiversity;
• pollution of contaminated sites or their access areas.

An action that affects everyone

Beyond being a crime, illegal waste dumping creates a real cost for the entire community. Every abandoned item must be collected, transported and disposed of. This means more working hours, more vehicles in circulation and higher service management costs. All these expenses are directly reflected in the TARI waste tax paid by every citizen. In practice, those who dump waste make the whole community pay for their actions.

Separate waste collection in Liguria

In the 2022–2023 period, Liguria recorded a separate waste collection rate of 58.3%, the lowest among northern Italian regions.
A shared commitment is needed to improve this figure, reduce waste and contain disposal costs.
