Following numerous questions from residents, the Sietrem (Joint Union for the Removal and Treatment of Household Waste) which is responsible for waste treatment in 31 towns in Seine-et-Marne, including the municipalities of the agglomeration community of Marne and Gondoirereminds that there is no official calendar sale.

The organization writes in a press release:

Canvassing for New Year gifts (selling calendars, etc.) by people who claim to belong to a cleaning or collection service is a strictly personal initiative, not supervised by the union.

Possible personal initiatives

However, union agents are not prohibited from organizing canvassing. It is possible that some people take this a personal initiative which is “neither regulatory nor contractual”. “This practice is a custom which depends on the free will of each person,” adds Sietrem, which also reminds its employees and service providers of this rule every year.

As a service paid for by the community through tax on household wastethe union probably believes that there is no reason to carry out this type of canvassing. This is also the case of most unions from the north of the department.

Beware of fake sellers

The union also alerts the vigilance of residents regarding fake touts and to vols par ruse. “In the event of malicious or insistent canvassing, we invite you to alert the police,” writes the union.

However, it is impossible to ensure that the canvassers are “real” union agents: Sietrem prohibits the use of professional clothing and the agents do not have professional cards. Except know their garbage collectorsresidents are therefore called to be vigilant.
