The Coeur de Garonne Community of Communes is warning its residents about malicious individuals who presented themselves at homes this weekend, claiming to be waste management agents.

Malicious individuals presented themselves at residents' homes this weekend, posing as waste management service agents under the pretext of replacing defective chips. As part of their duties, community of communes agents may visit residents' homes for waste management (OM) purposes, including the distribution/collection of bins and testing defective chips.
The community of communes emphasizes that its agents will NEVER ask for money during their home visits. If you have doubts about the identity of someone presenting themselves at your home in the name of the community of communes, it is advised to remain vigilant and contact the relevant services directly to verify the legitimacy of their approach.
The safety of residents is the institution's priority. It is recommended to share this information with others, especially the most vulnerable.
