A report on the many controversies of Veolia, the French contractor providing waste management services across London. From the rubbish filled streets of Birmingham to rural Colombia via Croydon's Commercial Waste Depot and a quick stop off in belle Paris, we take a look at how a controversial company founded by Napoleon Bonaparte (the third) was awarded millions of pounds worth of contracts in the UK capital.
