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.
