Waste collection at risk as few households pay the fee

The hygiene and sanitation brigade says it removed the garbage of 7,817 households between the end of January and the end of May 2026, but only 1,800 of them paid the 3,000 FC fee. The city has more than 38,000 households. The lack of revenue threatens the continuity of garbage collection.

Original text

La brigade d’hygiène et d’assainissement dit avoir évacué les immondices de 7 817 ménages entre fin janvier et fin mai 2026, mais seuls 1 800 ont payé la redevance de 3 000 FC. La ville compte plus de 38 000 ménages. Le manque de recettes menace la continuité du ramassage.
