From personal distress, I share how the upcoming change in rubbish collection contracted to the company Suez will dramatically affect my standard of living, property, and community. With the process set to transition in 2025, we are left unheard in a scenario that directly impacts us, the paying citizens. Alarmingly, this deal appears to be finalized without any say from us, those who will feel the effects on our living costs, our environment, and our daily routines.

Importantly, the implications go beyond the financial strain. The effects on sanitary conditions, space allotment, the aesthetics of our town, and health and safety risks are deeply unsettling. The National Public Health Organization reports that improper waste disposal can lead to an increase in vermin and harmful bacteria, ultimately affecting public health (NPHO). Moreover, without considering extra space for the bins, congestion and clutter could harm the charm and aesthetics of our community.

These impositions by Suez are, by all means, unreasonable for a service that we as paying citizens are supposed to have a say in. They should prioritize customer satisfaction, transparency in decision making, and heed our concerns about the potential issues of hygiene, space, aesthetics, and safety.

Please, let this stand as more than a distress call, let this serve as a demand for what is just and fair. By signing this petition, you empower our request for a transparent, considerate, and open process. This is not a mere complaint; it is our way of protecting our homes, our families, and our community. Sign the petition today.
