Technological breakthrough for AMIU
AMIU is simplifying checks on home composting users in Genoa and the municipalities in the Genoa Basin where it provides environmental services.
By downloading the free Junker app, you can now self-certify your composter in just a few minutes and receive a reduction on your municipal waste tax (TARI).
Thanks to the digital version of the Municipal Composting Register, which all residents who own a composter can sign up to, you can better monitor their progress and save on your municipal waste tax (TARI), along with a handy guide for turning kitchen scraps into excellent compost.
These are the main new features of interest to AMIU Genoa users, for whom 2023 closes with the transition to digital home composting, announced in recent weeks by mail to all interested users.


The chosen tool is Junker app
The tool chosen by AMIU, which will simplify inspections and encourage good composting practices, is the Junker app, which boasts 3 million users and is available in over 1,800 Italian municipalities.
By downloading the app for free
– available for both Android and iOS
– citizens will have access to a constantly updated and geolocated tutor to help them determine the correct disposal location for each type of waste.
And within the “Services” section, AMIU users will also find a “Composters Register” sticker, which contains a form to self-certify their composter in just a few minutes and thus receive a reduction on the Tari (waste tax).
Home composting is the most effective choice for reducing the amount of organic waste produced, equal to 40% of the RD.


Satisfaction from the AMIU President
AMIU Genoa President Giovanni Battista Raggi concludes:
“This is another important digital evolution for our company, making our data collection system increasingly efficient, modern, and relevant to the times.
It should be remembered that the spread of home composting is one of the objectives of the Regional Plan and allows us to reduce the cost of disposal and transportation of organic waste to treatment plants.
The use of the new Junker App“—continues Raggi “demonstrates AMIU’s commitment to providing citizens who own a composter with another tool to facilitate and simplify the bureaucratic process for obtaining the TARI reduction linked to this type of good practice.”
Junker’s Digital Composter’s Register
A digital composter register could be the answer to the problems municipalities and inspectors face today, which severely penalize this good practice: difficult controls, lack of transparency, collection of meaningful data, coordination between the various stakeholders, costs….
