Tangier, an open-air trash bin

Solid waste invades many neighborhoods of Tangier, proving the inability of the city council and the delegated companies responsible for sanitation to get rid of the garbage and the companies in charge of sanitation.

The observation is staggering. “Entire neighborhoods are crumbling under waste,” notes Al-Akhbar. One of them is Béni Ouryaghel. It has turned into an open trash bin. At the origin of this situation, the change in planning of the companies in charge of sanitation. These are now limited to a single daily collection. However, they were used to operating several rotations in high-density areas. Despite the sum of 304 million dirhams released per year for the management of waste generated by Tangier residents, the city council is struggling to obtain the expected results. A situation decried by elected officials and advisors.
