On the other hand, the street sweepers are still at work; the mess I was complaining about last week has been tidied up and carried away. And my usual habit of Googling for the answer hasn't lead to any firm conclusions. I do know that some sanitation workers are protesting retirement reforms by blocking the treatment center in Ivry sur Seine but fewer than 10 percent of all workers are involved. Given what I've read about the situation last month in Marseille and ongoing disputes in Naples, I guess we have it pretty good. Still, I'm going to be a much happier camper when things are back to normal.

Maybe that's why the recycling and grabage bins in our appt complex are overflowing!
enough with les greves...come on people...it's enough already
I've been wondering the same thing (and using the same Google approach, mais hélas, to no avail). I find these things generally frustrating in France (both the constant state of grève and the inability of this country to get with the 21st century and actually make use of the Interent).
Fingers crossed the trash workers are just feeling a little lazy post-Toussaint and pre-armisitice...
Urgghhh! That's gross! I hope they have been picked up now.
I must say though how lucky we have it in France. Parts of the UK only get their rubbish collected once every two weeks! They come for the recycle bins every week (note ONCE a week) but the rest of the waste once every two weeks! It is to encourage people to recycle more, but believe me, you had to be very careful what you ate, you didn't want fish skins or anything lying around!!
