The mayor of the 15th arrondissement of Paris, Philippe Goujon, asked Monday March 13 on franceinfo “minimum service” garbage collection and “the requisition of a certain number of personnel”, while the garbage collectors of the City of Paris have been on strike against the pension reform for a week. 5,600 tonnes of waste remain uncollected in the capital.

“I would like the State to allow the requisition of a certain number of personnel in incineration plants or waste centers” in order to “unlock repositories”, specifies Philippe Goujon. He calls for “the police unblock the dumpster deposits”.

“It is the hygiene of the entire capital that is in question.”

“It is an essential public service that is assumed by the collection of household waste”adds the mayor of the 15th arrondissement of Paris. “So it is essential that a minimum service be put in place, that blocked sites be unblocked and that requisitions be made.” He asked the Pizzorno company, which provides collection in the Parisian arrondissement, “to bring up provincial dumpsters to collect garbage”. It also ensures that “dumpsters arrived this Monday afternoon to collect the priority axes”.

Students accused of blocking the Vitry-sur-Seine depot

Philippe Goujon affirms that the blocking of waste collection in the 15th arrondissement is the fact “students from the faculty of Créteil, who came to block the Vitry depot, preventing the workers from working”. It is, according to him, a “obstructing the freedom to work”he said, specifying that the Pizzorno company “preparing to file a complaint for sabotage of the work tool”. He also mentions “a garbage dumpster from the Vitry depot which was sabotaged”, of which “the brakes have been tampered with”.

“The strike is a right”assures Philippe Goujon. “But in some cases, it is not a strike but the blocking of dumpster depots by people totally unrelated to the household waste collection service. And there, it is indeed reprehensible.”
