Dû à Paques, il n’y aura aucune collecte d’ordures le vendredi 19 avril 2019 ni le lundi 22 avril. Il y aura donc une collection double la semaine suivante. Les bureaux et édifices municipaux seront également fermés ces jours-là. Nous regrettons tout inconvénient que ces changements pourraient causer.
