Over 2000 workers from the Bulgarian waste disposal company Novera have staged a spontaneous protest in front of the Sofia City Hall.
Most of the angry protesters are from the Roma minority are protesting against the Municipality's recent decision to stop the contract with the company.
The protest has not been organized, has no leaders and there is no municipality permit for it.
Riot Police have been sent to the site of the City Hall, where a number of waste lorries had already been parked at midday.
Members of the marching mob told journalists that they are going to ask the Sofia Mayor Boyko Borisov, to give them their jobs back.
The Sofia Municipal Council decided during an emergency meeting last Monday to terminate Novera's contract.
The vote came on the heals of problems with the waste removal in several of the city's districts, including Sofia's downtown, which has been buried under piles of trash, overflowing from waste bins.
Novera claims they halted the garbage removal because they had not received the payments owed to them by the City Hall. The Municipality insisted they had transferred all overdue amounts and that the concessionaire was blackmailing them.
