The Taverna del Re site, built during the years of the waste emergency in Campania, is located in an area that marks the border with the province of Caserta. For years it has welcomed the vast majority of the six million eco-bales, packaged by the Stir, awaiting final disposal. The removal of the ecobales, placed on concrete plots built where wheat was once grown, began a few years ago but has not yet been completely completed. Just as it has not been decided how that area (an area of almost 4 kilometers) will be used when it is completely emptied.
