Then, about 45 minutes later, another message from the community.

This time, the content is much less positive.

Nantes Métropole reveals that the partial collection is stopped.

Among the incinerators concerned there is in particular the one located in Couëron.

Unblocked during the night by the police, the site was taken over by the strikers shortly afterwards.

Unloading dump trucks is again impossible.

The 24 trucks that were filled early in the morning were forced to unload their contents at the Paprec Ouest site, a site not intended for the storage of household waste in normal times.

According to our information, a general meeting is to be held at the end of the morning at the Maison des Syndicats on the island of Nantes to take stock of the situation and the evolution of the movement.
