Some very important info for those who use the recycling/trash centres.
I read in this week’s local paper, Le Républicain that the private company (SICTOMU) who organises these is updating their control system for the recycling centre use, which comes into effect after 31 December 2025.
You’ll need to go online and complete a form with your recycling centre (déchèterie) card number as well as the number stencilled onto your brown trash bin.
My husband has just done it for our household, and recommends that if necessary you have a French speaking person with you as it’s not obvious where to find the requisite form and complete it. You’ll also need to re confirm how many are in your household (this in turn allows you a certain number of yellow recycling bags as well as determining the size of your brown trash bin).
Tuesday 21/10
