Waste management in Ouest Rhodanien: less trash, but bin shortages persist

The Ouest Rhodanien agglomeration community reported improvements in waste management, including lower household waste tonnage and reduced collection refusal rates, at its late September annual report presentation. Vice-president Rémi Berthoux highlighted operational wins such as renewed public contracts, new software, and a new disposal stream for nitrous oxide canisters. However, persistent issues remain, including a shortage of bins and drop-off points, plus missing collection service in some areas. The report, presented on September 24, marks progress but acknowledges the service still faces significant logistical challenges. Officials did not provide a timeline for resolving the identified gaps in collection infrastructure.
