Avenue Turenne: trash life…

ENVIRONMENT. Franck Jeangeorge, manager of the D74, symbolically dropped off his household waste in front of the town hall yesterday, Tuesday, May 13, to protest against the bi-monthly waste collection schedule.

For Franck Jeangeorge, the situation is no longer tenable. Manager of the American restaurant D74, he has been hit hard since April ¹ by the switch to a bi-monthly schedule for household waste collection. Several neighborhoods in Langres have been affected by this reduction, including Avenue Turenne. "It's incomprehensible; we're a very commercial street. The city center still has a weekly collection," the restaurateur fumes.

As far as he's concerned, the presence of food waste makes a two-week wait impossible: "They tell me to go to the voluntary drop-off points... I only have a refrigerated truck, I'm not going to put my rubbish in it!" To mark the occasion, Franck Jeangeorge symbolically deposited his bags of rubbish in front of the town hall yesterday, Tuesday 13 May.

As a reminder, a new waste collection schedule was implemented on April 1st by the Departmental Energy and Waste Syndicate (Sded 52), the Grand Langres delegate on the subject. It has, among other things, ratified the transition to C 0.5 (one collection every two weeks) for the districts of Turenne, Franchises, Auge, Trois-Rois, Collinière, Les Fourches, Brevoines, Buzon, Saint-Didier, Citadelle, Sabinus and La Trincassaye.
