In Paris, the garbage collectors’ strike has been going on for a week: “Luckily it takes place in winter”

“It’s true that it’s disgusting,” sighs this merchant from Ménilmontant (XXth). Since the beginning of the week, due to the strike against the pension reform, waste has not been collected in the nine arrondissements where collection is managed by the City: 2nd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 12th, 14th, XVI, XVII and XX centuries. The private company working in the 15th arrondissement has also joined the movement. Syctom’s three incinerators, in Issy-les-Moulineaux, Ivry-sur-Seine and Saint-Ouen have also been shut down since Tuesday.
