Marseille town hall and the metropolis are tearing each other apart against a backdrop of overflowing trash cans. The new method of waste collection provoked the ire of the municipality, which immediately castigated a decision “organized against the people of Marseillais” “The collection was already not working with six visits per day.

It’s a totally crazy idea to want to move to two daily rounds. The metropolis only disrupts the service,” says the deputy mayor of Marseille.
