This is not really going to be of interest to anyone else, unless they have an unhealthy interest in the working s of local council recycle centres, but I want to record a "first". Last year the La Rochelle Conglomeration introduced a control system to access its decheteries. One had to apply for a card, with two proofs of identity and residence, that is now needed to get into a decheterie. Saturday was the first time we used it and we arrived in trepidation, with a full boot of rubbish, I mean recycle, hoping ti would work. And it did.
The scheme has not been without controversy as it was launched with the card permitting access a maximum of 15 times a year. Agitation occurred and after the first year of service the limit has now been raised to 20. Ces français aiment leurs décheteries!
(PS The auto speller wants to change decheteries into debauchereis - what does that say for Google?)
