This year, the European Week for Waste Reduction (SERD 2026) highlights responsible consumption, with a focus on overconsumption and fast fashion. SMC 79 is offering several events to encourage buying less, choosing better, reusing, and giving items a second life.
From November 18 to 21, the O’drigail recycling center celebrates its 4th anniversary with 4 days of exceptional sales offering -70% on all items. Opening hours will be extended during these 4 days: from 10 AM to 12:30 PM and from 2 PM to 6 PM.
On November 21 at 10:30 AM, a shared composting site will be inaugurated in the commune of François. Residents are invited to collect their bio-bins at the town hall to participate in this initiative.
A COMPOST’HEURE workshop is scheduled for November 25 at 5 PM at SMC in Sainte-Eanne. This workshop will cover good composting practices and participants will receive a free composter (for households not yet equipped). Places are limited and can be booked by calling 05 49 05 37 10, emailing accueil@smc79.fr, or via the online form: https://forms.gle/yYS8RpKybuDKxd5r9.
On November 27, a special textile day will be held at O’drigail. From 9 AM to 12 PM, a textile collection will be organized with Trio Emmaüs in front of the recycling center. From 9:30 AM to 12 PM and from 2 PM to 5:30 PM, the TEXTICOLOGIE agency will offer awareness-raising activities on responsible fashion.
Finally, from November 2 to 21, a toy collection is being held to give them a second life. Collected toys will be sold at low prices at the O’drigail recycling center.
