Understand the French way of recycling - and start right away! Reduce - Reuse - Recycle!
Today, let's talk about recycling. Here is some useful information because we know there can always be some doubts... 🌱
Since 2022, the rules are the same everywhere in France:
- All PACKAGING (plastic, cardboard, tubes, bags, etc.) should be placed empty in the YELLOW BIN.
- All food WASTE, broken dishes or glass, as well as tissues, sanitary towels, diapers... should be placed in a closed garbage bag in the GREY BIN. If there is a public compost bin nearby, you can dispose of all your food waste there.
- All GLASS bottles and jars should be placed empty in the GLASS CONTAINERS available in your city.
- Special waste & dangerous waste: in the recycling centers or during the public collections organized by the cities.
For the well-being of all the residents and out of respect for our cleaning team, please do not leave your waste elsewhere than into the provided containers and bins! 💚
Bins in Saint So Coliving
At Saint So' Coliving, two recycling bins are at your disposal in the common courtyard.
Organic waste can be put into the trash below your kitchen sink. When the trash is full, please put your bag into the grey container in the shared courtyard.
We also provide you with one big bag upon your move-in, to collect all your recyclable waste, including empty glass bottles and jars. When it is full, you can put loose waste into the red container in the shared courtyard.
- The non-recyclable collection (grey container) occurs every Monday and Thursday morning.
- The recyclable waste collection (red container) occurs every Monday morning.
If you don't find the container in the shared courtyard, please check the street, near the main entrance door! Our cleaning team puts the bins out each week when they come to clean the common areas.
