The cleaning and waste collection services in Girona have suffered new incidents this Monday due to a workers' assembly of Girona+Neta. The City Council has warned the citizenry of possible impacts in different neighborhoods of the city, especially in the door-to-door service.
The City Council warns of disruptions until Tuesday
The council has communicated that the alterations in the collection may extend until tomorrow. In a message addressed to the residents, the City Council has explained that "today, there may be disruptions in the cleaning and waste collection services due to the Girona+Neta workers' assembly" and that "these disruptions may extend until tomorrow".
Regarding the door-to-door service, the City Council has specified that if the waste is not collected this Monday, the collection will be carried out on Tuesday morning. This measure affects several residential areas where this system is customary.
Seventh assembly since October and negotiations underway
The assembly held today is the seventh since October that causes incidents in the city's cleaning. Girona+Neta employees have been negotiating an agreement with the company for some time, which has resulted in repeated meetings and partial strikes affecting the service.
On previous occasions, both residents and merchants have expressed their concern about the accumulation of waste in the streets. These episodes have caused the garbage to remain in the public thoroughfare for hours or even all night, which can favor the appearance of pests like rodents.
Impact on daily life and citizen response
The reiteration of these assemblies has generated discomfort in some sectors of the city. Merchants and residents have pointed out that the accumulation of bags and unemptied containers affects both the urban image and the hygiene of the streets.
The City Council keeps the population informed about the evolution of the service and recommends door-to-door users to be attentive to upcoming notices. Negotiations between the workers and the company remain open, while the city faces a new day with limited services.
