In the exam (French)
Bogdan change de matelas. Il veut laisser l'ancien sur le trottoir, devant son immeuble, sans prévenir personne. Est-ce permis ?
- aYes, if the mattress is still clean and in good condition.Oui, si le matelas est encore propre et en bon état.
- bNo, he must use the waste collection centre or the bulky waste collection.Non, il doit utiliser la déchetterie ou la collecte des encombrants.Correct answer
- cYes, because the town collects everything left in the street.Oui, car la ville ramasse tout ce qui est laissé dans la rue.
- dYes, if he leaves it during the night, when nobody is around.Oui, s'il le dépose pendant la nuit, quand personne ne passe.
Why?
Leaving rubbish or bulky items in the street outside the collection rules is illegal dumping (dépôt sauvage), punished by a fine. You must use the waste collection centre (déchetterie) or the commune’s bulky waste collection service (collecte des encombrants). Sorting your waste properly is part of respecting the environment.
