Too much is too much. After taking the alarm bell for the first time on the poor quality of the waste collection, the mayors of Bobigny, Bondy, and Noisy-le-Sec praise the tone. In a common letter, they are asking for the termination of the market allocated to Sépur in October 2017.

“They do not respect the contract, it is as simple as that, points out the mayor PS of Bondy Sylvine Thomassin. We could make a picture of grievances because there are so there! Streets where collection is not done, markets that are not well cleaned … ”

His counterpart in Bobigny, Stéphane de Paoli (UDI), regularly receives complaints from his citizens. “People are laughing, they leave the garbage cans outside because they don’t know when the trucks go to go,” says the elected official.

A formal notice has already been sent to the Sépur

The first dysfunctions appeared in October, pushing is together to organize a crisis meeting. “There was then an improvement in December,” admits Laurent Rivoire. To hear them, the thinning was short -lived. “We again found a drop in the service at the end of January,” evaluates the mayor of Noisy-le-Sec.

For Stéphane de Paoli, the agents of Sépur “do not know the field”. “The company should have resumed part of the staff of the former service provider Veolia. But that has not been done, ”he regrets.

The mayor of Bondy points to the dilettantism of the rippers. “The observation is that our cities are dirty. If it is necessary, we will unload our waste at the headquarters of the Sépur! “, Assists Sylvine Thomassin, who assures that together has already borne the company Sépur” at more than € 100,000 in penalties “.

The territorial public establishment announces recently “sent a formal notice to the Sépur company, confirming” serious and heavy facts “, says Gérard Cosme, the PS president of Est together. This could lead, if no improvement is found, to termination of the contract.

Contacted, the company did not want to express themselves.

The fed up of the inhabitants

The garbage can overflow on Jules-Guesde avenue in Bondy, this Thursday on noon. The Sépur trucks, which pass twice a week, must come and pick them up in the middle of the afternoon.

Evelyne, a retiree, carries her two poubel bags which she placed at the foot of an already crowded container. It points to the flaws of the new collection organization set up in October 2017. “The trash cans are picked up too late,” she believes. With the former service provider, the trucks spent three times a week, and especially early in the morning. »»

“You have to review the schedules so that the trucks spend in the morning”

For Evelyne, some residents are also responsible for this chaotic situation because they “descend their trash cans at poor times”.

“Result, it accumulates, it does not smell good and it is not hygienic,” says Magali, a resident.

A situation that the managers of the Le Chêne restaurant has been denouncing for many months. “The garbage cans are picked up around 3 or 4 pm. They stay outside during the service, there are odors because of the heat. Suddenly, some customers no longer want to put themselves on the terrace. You have to review the collection system for trucks to pass in the morning, ”urges Stéphane Bakir, who does not exclude organizing a civic demonstration.
