Sector 1 garbage scandal

Romprest recently refused to pick up the garbage in Sector 1, citing that the City Hall of Sector 1 did not pay its bills. In her turn, mayor Clotilde Armand stated that she did not pay the bills because the company would invoice inflated amounts for services that were not provided.

On Saturday, Romprest announced that it will resume the garbage collection activity in Sector 1, after reaching an agreement with its partners that manage the sorting ramp.
