Illustration picture shows full bins on March 11, 2023 in Paris, France. A strike by waste collectors in France has led to rubbish (trash) piling up in the streets of Paris, leaving locals and tourists to the French capital dealing with eyesores, bad smells and rodent pests. For the past 10 days, garbages collectors striking over government reforms to the pension system have been blockading six of the Paris region’s seven incinerators. With nowhere to dispose of rubbish, dustbins in several parts of the city are going uncollected and waste left to fester on pavements and street corners. Photo by Karim Air Adjedjou/ABACAPRESS.COM
