Household waste collection in certain sectors of Grenoble and Echirolles will take place early in the morning, instead of during the day, until Saturday, October 17th. This measure aims to ensure the safety of collection agents and their access to bins, which has been disrupted by student demonstrations.
The affected sectors in Grenoble include the Jean-Perrot/Jouhaux areas and between Rue Stalingrad and Avenue Marcelin-Berthelot. In Echirolles, adjustments concern Rue Pablo-Picasso and Cours Jean-Jaurès, as well as between Rue Paul-Héroult and Avenue du 8 mai 1945.
Residents are asked to place their bins out as late as possible before 5 AM and to bring them back in immediately after collection. The Métropole is experiencing a shortage of bins until mid-October, emphasizing the importance of vigilance.
In the hyper-centre of Grenoble and near high schools, no bins should be left in public spaces between 11 AM and midnight, due to the risk of damage associated with the protests announced for Thursday, October 15th, and Saturday, October 17th.
The specific areas targeted by this instruction include the perimeter from Place Victor-Hugo to Place de Verdun, the Grands Boulevards and adjacent streets, Cours Jean Jaurès, the Saint-Bruno district, and the Gare district.
Elsewhere, waste collection continues normally. The Métropole remains fully committed to ensuring the continuity of public service while prioritizing the safety of its agents.
