Thionville. Trash cans are piling up under his windows

“I’m sorry, there are flies,” says Sylvane, opening the door to her studio. The tenant lives at 3A, promenade Leclerc, in Thionville. It is on the ground floor. Its windows overlook a flower bed and a few shrubs, between the road and the garages of the social building managed by Batigère. But since the end of April, the containers have been overflowing and the garbage cans are piling up right there.

Sylvane is exhausted. “I called the town hall, the municipal police, Batigère,” she says. But nothing has changed, despite the pestilential smell released following the strong heat of recent weeks. “There are rats”, assures the tenant, supported by a neighbor. According to them, the contract of the maintenance worker who took out the trash every week was not renewed. And nothing is done.

Voluntary contribution points

“For two years, voluntary contribution points have been set up by the urban community in the district”, explains Christophe Vuillaume, rental management manager for Batigère sur la Moselle. “We still maintained the container outbound service,” he continues.

Except that the social landlord finally decided to stop this service in 2022. Residents are now supposed to bring their bins to the voluntary drop-off points located a hundred meters from their entrance. “We did not support this change with sufficiently effective communication,” admits the head of rental management. Batigère promises to rectify the situation. “The mediator will go around the accommodations. And help people who need it. The lessor guarantees that the local agency has taken cognizance of the problem and commissioned a company to evacuate the pile of garbage cans, some of which have been gutted. “It will be at our expense, the company told us that it would come before the weekend. » Week reduced by the Ascension Bridge.
