Paris: public-private, waste production… what lessons after three weeks of garbage collectors’ strike

Twenty-two days of strike, 10,000 tons of garbage in the streets at the height of the mobilization, blocked incinerators and requisitions of agents to prevent a health risk… While the CGT announced the suspension of the strike movement of the garbage collectors of the City of Paris as of this Wednesday, the situation is improving with 5,800 tonnes of waste still not collected as of Wednesday, according to figures from the municipality.
