Tens of thousands of kilos of trash are not picked up because of the strike affecting three incinerators in the region.

Garbage cans full to the brim and not collected. This is the situation which tends to recur in many Parisian districts.

According to the latest counts, more than a million kilos of waste have not been collected by the garbage collectors and squatting the streets of the capital. The staff of 3 incinerators, who usually burn the waste of 500,000 homes, are on strike to protest the government's planned pension reform.
