In front of the house in the Faubourg du Château, furniture, televisions, paint cans are piling up, the tenants have warned the free service of bulky items of SIAVED, but Frédéric Simpère, the head of the environment brigade, notes a delay in declarations.
“Of mattress and wood” we went to a pile of garbage, deposited by other neighbors. Agents ask tenants to drop off their bulky items at 6 p.m. the day before collection next time so as not to encourage others to put in their bulky items. The man must also pick up the paint can and then drop it off at the Denain or Douchy les Mines waste disposal center next door.
It pollutes the land heavily, for insects painting is not good, it has nothing to do outside!
The head of the brigade who notices that the chemicals are often hidden in plastic bags, which then go to the incinerator “which can be dangerous” he explains.
It is in particular to fight against this kind of deposits that Anne Lise Dufour the mayor PS launched this brigade, because every month the city’s cleaning service collects 34 tons of waste, a lot of time and money spent for the municipality according to the elected representative.
About fifty tickets already issued
A little further in the district, a dozen garbage bags, some of which are open in front of the household garbage terminal while a lot of waste could have gone to the selective sorting terminal which is empty. Bottles of water, cardboard mixed with household waste to annoy Sullivan Hennevin, a police officer in the brigade who previously worked in the city’s cleaning service

Officers can search garbage cans for clues that identify offenders. Agents who can be alerted by a toll-free number dedicated to cleanliness, via the Tell My City application, which allows incivilities to be identified directly in the city, or directly in the field.
After a prevention phase for a month, officers begin to verbalize with fines that can range from 35 euros for inconvenient parking that prevents the collection of waste, to 68 euros for a badly stored trash can to 1,500 euros for a wild deposit with a car, and the message begins to pass, assures Frédéric Simpère
It’s starting to come, it’s gonna be a long-term job but we’re gonna get there
About fifty tickets have already been drafted, sometimes also with unpaid work in partnership with the public prosecutor of Valenciennes.
