Rome will send 900 tonnes of rubbish to Amsterdam every week starting this month. The Italian capital is drowning in trash. The city’s four million residents produce more household waste than it can dispose of. Starting from mid-April, a special-purpose train will transport some of this rubbish 1,700 km north to Amsterdam for incineration.
