Hmm. I hadn't heard of this thing that's happening in Naples until today. Basically, the landfills are full in Naples (Italy) and the government want to re-open some other areas for waste disposal, but there have been protests and well... Basically the entire city became saturated in its own waste.
Some quotes and articles.

Protesters have clashed again with Italian police in the city of Naples in a dispute over rubbish disposal.
There have been no waste collections for more than two weeks in Naples and more than 100,000 tonnes of rubbish lies rotting in the streets.
Read the articles for more. It's interesting. I don't know about you guys but I can see this happening more often around the world in the not too distant future.With nowhere to put the rubbish, local people have been burning it.
