Do you already sort recyclable waste, such as cardboard and plastic packaging, glass bottles and also newspapers? That’s great, but maybe you can do more.
Like sending putrescible food waste (peelings, filters and coffee pods, eggshells, leftover meat or fish, paper towels, etc.), also called bio-waste, to a different bin. To help you in this virtuous approach – and in any case compulsory in 2025 – the Thionville Portes de France agglomeration community is getting ready to go.

Who is concerned ?
The collection of bio-waste is a story that the agglomeration has been considering for a long time, but its implementation requires action in stages. Simply because to the novelty is added a whole pedagogy to put in place with the inhabitants. And then, few communities have taken the plunge, so feedback is still rare.
To get started, the environment service therefore wants to involve 8,000 inhabitants (10% of the territory’s population). The urban sectors of La Milliaire and Saint-Pierre in Thionville, the village of Oeutrange and the town of Angevillers inaugurate the system at the beginning of June. The municipalities of the plateau and the other districts of Thionville will be affected in 2022. Rendezvous in 2023 for Terville, Yutz, Manom, Illange, Basse-Ham and Kuntzig.

What material?
During May, a 7-liter brown bucket and biodegradable bags will be distributed. Each household with a house will also have a 60-liter bin (where the contents of the bucket will be poured out). Dedicated containers will be placed at the foot of buildings for collective housing; voluntary contribution terminals will also be installed in the public domain.
This waste will be the subject of a separate weekly collection. The test phase will make it possible to validate the relevance of these choices; the opinion of the inhabitants will be collected regularly. The ultimate goal is for this bio-waste to be eliminated by methanization.
