Garbage is collected once a week on Monday mornings throughout the year.
It's important to remember that garbage cans put out at the beginning of the week won't be collected until the following Monday, and if they're just plastic bags, there's a risk that they'll be ripped open and their contents spilled.

On the town hall site, there are 3 containers for glass bottles, plastic bottles and paper and magazines, all year round.
There are no containers available to receive household waste outside pick-up times.

Selective sorting

A new container has been installed in the town hall parking lot. It can be used for various types of packaging.

To sort properly :

If I hesitate, I throw
If I'm not sure about a package, I throw it away with the traditional garbage, rather than harming the quality of recyclable waste.

No loss of time
Place your packaging and magazines loose in the bins indicated, without tying them up or nesting them inside one another. The sorters wouldn't have time to separate these products, which would then become waste.

Clean without washing
Simply empty and drain your packaging in the washer: you'll avoid dirt and odors, make storage easier and avoid soiling the packaging.

Crush them
Flatten plastic bottles, food cartons and cardboard (without tearing them). They'll take up less space at home and in the bins.

Watch out bobos!
Packaging is sorted by hand. Do not place any sharp, prickly, toxic or cut-up waste that would interfere with the sorters' work and risk injuring them.

The municipal council is counting on everyone's civic-mindedness.
