Illegal dump discovered in Vauvert

On Thursday, October 22, the town of Vauvert found a large illegal dump along the chemin du Château Roubaud, covering about 120 cubic meters. The discovery was made by a local resident who alerted municipal services and the environmental group Petite Camargue.

Municipality reacts strongly

The municipality quickly addressed the issue through its social media networks, calling the dumping "massive, intentional, irresponsible, and deeply disrespectful." It emphasized that such actions harm the environment, damage the town's reputation, and require significant efforts to clean up.

Financial and logistical burden

Removing the illegal waste, transporting it, processing it, and restoring the site has placed a considerable financial burden on the town of Vauvert. This comes on top of ongoing efforts to clean the town's streets after recent rainstorms.

Complaint and investigation launched

The town has decided to file a formal complaint and is working with the local gendarmerie to investigate and identify the person or group responsible for the illegal dumping.
