At the local and departmental level, in view of the funding and the issue, it is indeed all Gers residents who are concerned, as well as our neighbors in the Hautes Pyrénées, since it is expected that all Gers residents will be taxed through the Tax household waste by this project.
This meeting is the first to start asking the right questions, so we must continue to consult.
Trucks, jobs, carbon footprint, how refusals will be managed, economic benefits for Masseube, upstream sorting,
recovery after sorting, the landfill strategy, these are all elements that must structure this project!
An important point emerged from the discussions: SIVOM Haut-Garonnais du Sud-Comminges, no longer being a stakeholder in this project, could jeopardize the overall set-up, for tonnage in particular.
The barycenter argument falls: if pooling seems a good initial idea, it is today a very fragile argument because at less than 30,000t / year, this tonnage could not justify such a public investment, an investment which also fluctuates : we go from 18 to 28 M € in the space of a year… ..
On the landfill strategy: after the closure of the Houga landfill planned for 2024 and that of Pavia, which is saturated and dangerous,
what is TRIGONE’s strategy?
Respecting procedures preserves arbitrariness and errors, dialogue preserves oppositions put in the face of a fait accompli.
We think that the renovations of the centers of Auch and Hautes Pyrénées, which are less expensive, may need to be reconsidered.
As for the reinvigoration of Masseube, more serious arguments are needed to calm the real fears of local opponents!
This is the opportunity to make Gers residents aware of this issue of sorting waste and recycling it.
The Friends of the Earth 32, concerned about our environment, work in the common interest. They are not for the moment in opposition to this project, but for lack of answer to their legitimate questions, their position could evolve negatively.
