The scope of services relating to the services provided for in articles L. 2224-13 et L. 2224-14 is set by the municipalities or their groupings as part of the waste prevention and management plans provided for in sub-section 1 of Section 3 of Chapter I of Title IV of Book V of the Environment Code.
A Conseil d’Etat decree specifies the minimum conditions under which these services must be provided, in particular with regard to collection frequencies, depending on the demographic and geographical characteristics of the municipalities. This same decree determines the conditions under which the State representative in the department, after consulting the municipal councils concerned, may grant temporary exemptions.
