"Probably the reason why the cost of Rome's garbage is so high, but I'm not sure it is among the highest in Italy, is that Rome has a very high number of tourists. So, let's not focus so much on the malfunctioning of those who carry out the service, but rather about Rome's particular features, which maybe play an important role in the cost of such service."

LEAD IN:
Wild animals, rats and insects - a product of piles of uncollected garbage left rotting for months in high summer temperatures.
Rubbish disposal is a decades-long problem for the Eternal City.
STORYLINE:
In a residential area of Rome's suburbs wild boar scavenge for scraps from overflowing rubbish bins.
Across Rome, residents have been enduring the stench of rubbish rotting in 100° F temperatures all summer, attracting insects and animals.
Every year, Rome produces 1.7 million tons of trash and recycles only 46 percent according to AMA - Rome's refuge collection company.
The rest has to be incinerated or disposed of somehow. While the local government of the Latium (Lazio) region has suggested opening a new landfill in Rome, Mayor Virginia Raggi has rejected the proposal.
In early July the Ministry of the Environment and the National Doctors Association declared Italy's capital on the verge of a health epidemic. As a result, AMA was ordered to clean up a backlog of 46,000 tons of trash throughout the city.
AMA deployed 6,000 cleaners around the clock.
"The city of Rome was forced to work extreme shifts to try to manage the lack of facilities for treatment and disposal. The problem of where to send unrecyclable trash has caused a surplus of about 2,800 tons a week, that we could not collect because we didn't have a way of disposing it," says Paolo Longoni, the newly appointed CEO for AMA.
Rome's garbage problem has been escalating since 2013, when the city was forced to close its main dump site Malagrotta under a European court order. The site was condemned for improper processing of unrecyclable waste which was deemed to be constituting an environmental and health hazard
Last year, one of four processing plants was set on fire in an alleged act of arson. And this April, another processing plant was closed for maintenance work. AMA is unable at this stage to say when it will reopen.
Romans have learned at their expense that AMA's emergencies are cyclical. This some residents are suing AMA, and demanding a refund of their garbage tax – one of the highest in Italy at €270 per capita per year.
The "Tutti per Roma" (Everyone for Rome), group has been pushing for a cleaner Rome since 2018.
Members organised rallies in front of Capitol Hill, and created a Facebook community of more than 20,000 citizens, who have posted thousands of pictures and hundreds of videos documenting the state of decay of their neighbourhoods.
It's all evidence that "Tutti per Roma" will bring to court in a civil case against AMA. The group will continue collecting signatures until the end of September, when it will file a lawsuit with Rome's Court House.
The growing number of plaintiffs is allowing legal fees to be covered. Each plaintiff contributes 15 euros.
The Tutti per Roma group has advised residents to continue paying their garbage tax.
"The bad smell, the filth, mice, seagulls…you see it all," says Angela Tortora, a Rome resident who is part of the class action.
"Because I've never failed my duties as a citizen, why must I be so burdened and mistreated?" says Mario Rocchetti, another plaintiff.
The group's founder is Emma Amiconi.
"You can't operate based on emergency task forces, that make it look like they cleaned up, here and there, because one day they clean one street and then another street the next day, at least to me, it doesn't look like there is a comprehensive plan. We can say the emergency is over when there are answers to all pieces of the puzzle; how you collect, where you deliver it, how and where it goes and where it's processed," she says.
Known as the TARI the garbage tax helps cover Rome's grave lack of facilities for waste treatment. Rome pays both its own region of Latium, and the neighbouring region of Abruzzo, to dispose of its unrecycled trash. It is not known how much this is costing AMA. The company has not released an official annual report since 2016.
"If we pay such a high garbage tax to finance transportation of our waste, to those who rightfully expect payment to receive it, I think it's madness because other cities turn waste into energy, and they somehow contribute to the cycle of financial resources," says Amiconi.
AMA collects the tax on behalf of the City of Rome, but does not decide its amount:
"Probably the reason why the cost of Rome's garbage is so high, but I'm not sure it is among the highest in Italy, is that Rome has a very high number of tourists," says Longoni.
"So, let's not focus so much on the malfunctioning of those who carry out the service, but rather about Rome's particular features, which maybe play an important role on the cost of such service."
Every year Rome receives more than 18 million overnight tourists according to Latium's 2017 Annual Report on Tourism. These figures increase to almost 30 million when day visitors are factored in.
Tourists usually stay within the narrow two-mile stretch of Rome's historic centre, which the city has kept tidy throughout the garbage crisis.
The vast majority of the 2.8 million Romans live outside the historic centre, within a 13 mile wide circular sprawl.
