The Millau Grands Causses Community of Communes is alerting its residents to abusive doorstep calls by individuals posing as waste collection service agents, offering container replacements for a fee.

Malicious individuals are currently contacting residents to offer container replacements, demanding financial compensation. The Community of Communes emphasizes that these individuals are not part of their teams and that such interventions are not carried out by their staff.
The Community of Communes's collection service can intervene upon request from individuals, but it is reiterated that no financial compensation will ever be requested. Agents will always act within their official duties and without asking for payment on the spot.
Residents are advised to remain vigilant against these solicitations. If you have any doubts or encounter such a situation, it is recommended to contact the Municipal Police.
