The Montpellier Metropolis provides you with a new portal dedicated to reuse and waste management. By following the principles of the Regional Waste Prevention and Management Plan, this portal aims to reduce waste production, promote sorting, reuse and recycling. Thanks to innovative initiatives such as reuse points and collaboration with Écophoenix, commit to an eco-responsible approach and participate in the preservation of our planet.
Reduce waste production
The best waste is that which is not produced! This seems obvious, but it is a fundamental principle of the plan adopted by the Montpellier Metropolis. By reducing our waste at source, we preserve natural resources and reduce our environmental impact. The Metropolis strongly encourages citizens to adopt behaviors that minimize the creation of waste.
Sort and recycle efficiently
Sorting is an essential step to enable the recycling of materials. The MĂ©tropole de Montpellier provides you with tools and resources to help you: directories of collection points, information on types of waste and sorting instructions. By sorting correctly, you facilitate recycling and contribute to the circular economy.
Collaboration with Écophoenix
Écophoenix is ​​an eco-solidarity initiative which is responsible for the collection and processing of cardboard, paper and other recyclable waste. Present in Montpellier and its surroundings, this organization plays a key role in responsible waste management. By collaborating with Écophoenix, the Montpellier Metropolis is strengthening its commitment to a sustainable environment.
Reuse: a second life for your objects
The reuse of objects constitutes a fundamental pillar of the new portal. The reuse points created in recycling centers allow users to drop off objects in good condition that they no longer use. These objects can thus be recovered by other people, thus avoiding ending up in landfill.
Give a second life to your electrical equipment
The Metropolis also encourages the reuse of electrical equipment such as appliances, light bulbs and small fire extinguishers. Repairing or donating these devices helps reduce the ecological footprint and promote a culture of eco-responsibility.
The Regional Waste Prevention and Management Plan
The Regional Waste Prevention and Management Plan (PRPGD) sets ambitious objectives for the reduction, reuse and recycling of waste. This program provides concrete means to achieve these objectives, by aligning local initiatives with regional and national waste management requirements.
Local initiatives and voluntary contribution points
The Montpellier Metropolis also offers practical solutions for sorting and collecting waste, via voluntary drop-off points accessible to all. These solutions are designed to facilitate the management of bio-waste and other recyclable materials, thus contributing to a cleaner and more environmentally friendly city.
