Good news for the environment in Avensan! The commune has introduced 3 new collective drop-off points for food waste. These additions bring the total number of dedicated collection points to 7 within the municipality.
The new collection points are located at:
- Chemin de la Gare (next to the glass recycling bin)
- Plaine des Sports (next to the glass recycling bin)
- Route de Margaux - PELIN (next to the glass recycling bin)
- Chemin de la Gare (next to the glass recycling bin)
- Plaine des Sports (next to the glass recycling bin)
- Route de Margaux - PELIN (next to the glass recycling bin)
Once deposited, this food waste is transported to Eysines, then Saint-Laurent-Médoc. There, it is processed to produce biogas, which powers the local network, and agricultural fertilizers to enrich the soil.
This initiative is part of the AGEC law (anti-waste law for a circular economy), which promotes source separation and the valorization of bio-waste.
To easily store and transport food waste to the collection points, residents can obtain a bio-bin at the waste disposal center (déchèterie) or from the Communauté de Communes (Intercommunal Council).
To stay informed about sorting instructions and news, you can download the apps « Infos Tri Déchets Médullienne » and « Intramuros ».
The commune encourages citizens to adopt good daily practices to reduce waste and preserve the local environment.
