AMAIE Energia e Servizi recently hosted an operational testing session of an electric street sweeper in Sanremo.

Testing across different urban contexts

The trial involved several areas of the city, including the town centre, the seafront and zones with more complex road layouts. The aim was to assess the vehicle’s effectiveness in real conditions, evaluating its performance both on main roads and in narrower spaces such as alleys and cycle paths. Thanks to its compact size and manoeuvrability, the sweeper proved capable of adapting well even to articulated urban environments, enabling targeted and continuous operations.

Electric technology and sustainability

The tested vehicle is fully electric, with zero emissions and low noise impact, making it particularly suitable for urban use.

A path towards service innovation

This activity is part of an ongoing process of updating and improving urban hygiene services, with the aim of identifying increasingly efficient and sustainable solutions for the area. The test provided a valuable opportunity to evaluate new technologies applied to street cleaning, in line with the needs of a complex and dynamic city like Sanremo.

In Sanremo, the installation of new bins dedicated to dog waste has begun. The intervention focuses in particular on areas with higher population density and aims to make the service more efficient and accessible for residents and tourists.

A simpler and more recognizable service

The new bins are easy to identify. They are yellow and feature a paw-shaped opening. Each station also includes a bag dispenser. This allows dog owners to dispose of waste correctly, even when they do not have the necessary materials with them.

The goal is clear: improve the quality of waste collection and reduce improper disposal. Bags should no longer be left near glass recycling bins or placed in unsuitable litter bins. This behavior compromises urban cleanliness and reduces the efficiency of the collection system.

A step forward for a cleaner city

The initiative aims to provide a concrete service and improve the livability of public spaces. Proper use of the bins is essential. They are intended exclusively for dog waste and not for household waste.

Highlighting the value of the initiative, Environment Councillor Ester Moscato stated: “With this initiative, we are taking a step forward towards a cleaner, more citizen-friendly city. I would like to thank AMAIE Energia e Servizi and the environmental offices: their commitment has made it possible to respond to a specific need of the community. We rely on the civic sense of residents and tourists for the responsible use of these dedicated bins. Please note that they are intended exclusively for dog waste and not for household waste.”

Disposal guidelines

In areas where the new bins are not yet available, standard litter bins can still be used. Dog waste is classified as non-recyclable waste.

The installation of the new bins represents a concrete action to improve urban cleanliness and promote responsible behavior. AMAIE Energia e Servizi, together with citizens, works every day towards a cleaner and more sustainable city.

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.
