Clean Up Trash or Face Fines

The EU is telling Italy to clean up its 2400 tons of trash in its streets. Residence there have been trashing the town of Terzigno to protest the smelly local dump and the plans to create a new dump in Vesuvio National Park. Cars have been set on fire and firecrackers set on police. Naples and surrounding towns always suffer from garbage crisis due to poor management and infiltration from the local mob. There still are no definite plans of solving the problem of overwhelming trash, except to create more heaps. Government blames the current mafia for the problem. The EU is claiming Italy failed to set up proper disposal infrastructure to control the garbage. Guido Bertolaso, "the disaster chief", chided the EU for their criticism.
