The problems of Naples could be of any city. Ultimately the trash is hauled away in trucks and so as oil prices rise so will waste disposal costs. Many of these costs are levied on homeowners who get no choice in paying wahtever the city demands. I can see a day though when this waste is coveted for the treasure it contains. The organic should be composted, the minerals recovered, the methane extracted, the chemicals distilled and the plastic....damn. I knew there had to be a flaw. Old landfills will become the new open cuts PPO. At least the Neopolitans don't have to dig it up first. They could start right there on the street.
