The mayor of Tresques, Alexandre Pissas, has gradually converted to the incentive fee which he considers more morally just than the tax for removing household waste. Unlike the TEOM, the incentive fee is invoiced on the basis of the quantity of waste produced and not the surface area of ​​the occupied dwelling.

He rarely makes his voice heard on questions of territorial politics. The mayor of Tresques and departmental councilor of Bagnols-sur-Cèze Alexandre Pissas has decided to depart from tradition and to break the silence is to speak, in a good way, of the incentive fee, a system which, he admits, had not convinced him at the start of its launch.

"When Jean-Christian Rey presented us with the incentive fee two or three years ago, I said to myself that we were still going to build a gas plant". The elected official gradually understood the financial strategy that was going to be put in place. The incentive fee cost the Agglo dearly. Today, the mayor of Tresques is happy to act as the Agglo's lawyer on the subject of the incentive fee. "There are people at the Agglo who played the game very well.

"It’s not the fault of the Agglo"

At Tresques too. "We had trash piling up everywhere. At a given moment, it is not the fault of the Agglo if people do not respect the rules regarding cleanliness in the City and fall into this form of delinquency. which proliferates in the towns and countryside of Rhone Gard. Alexandre Pissas nevertheless notes an "error and not a fault" committed according to him by the Agglo. "The latter should not have, according to the mayor of Tresques, rushed to give a financial assessment of what the incentive fee would cost the EPCI (1 ) from Rhone Gard.

"Morally just

"The people of the Agglo realized that they were wrong" declares the elected official Tresquois. Actual pricing today indicates an increase of 29% compared to the initially announced price ."Alexandre Pissas judges the concept of the incentive fee "more just on a moral level than the household waste collection tax because residents pay according to the quantity of household waste produced and not according to the accommodation occupied."
