Environment: sorting bio-waste, a headache for small communities
From January 1, communities will have the obligation to allow the recycling of plant waste. The deadline is approaching, and many municipalities are not ready. Report from Tourrettes-sur-Loup, in the Alpes-Maritimes. – (France 2)
From January 1, communities will have the obligation to allow the recycling of plant waste. The deadline is approaching, and many municipalities are not ready. Report from Tourrettes-sur-Loup, in the Alpes-Maritimes.
In Tourrettes-sur-Loup (Alpes-Maritimes), among the 4,500 inhabitants, not all are able to sort their biodegradable waste. It is impossible for some residents to have an individual composter because they do not have a garden. “I don’t know if, for those who are from the city, there will be composters“, asks one of them.
Collective composting platforms
From January 1, however, each resident will be expected to have a sorting solution. The mayor (SE) of Tourrettes-sur-Loup, Frédéric Poma, did what he could: in shared gardens whose access is reserved for members, the collective composter is the only one in the municipality. “We are currently thinking with the urban community about collective composters, since there are housing estates, small buildings, people who do not have a garden. We will set up collective composting platforms“, he assures. The communities have also distributed 200 individual composters.
