Composting for all, deployed since 2010, is now being enhanced with new systems designed to make it easier for residents to deposit their food scraps. This experiment, running until 2027, will evaluate and sustain the most effective solutions in densely populated urban areas.
Several types of equipment are being tested: bin shelters located in town centers and collected twice weekly for transport to an industrial composting platform (in Bois d’Arcy and Jouy-en-Josas). City composters, which mix food waste with wood chips, are being trialed in Bailly, Bois d’Arcy, and Saint-Cyr-l'Ecole. Finally, 'Keyhole' garden composters, featuring a central composter surrounded by a planter, are being tested in Bailly, Bois d’Arcy, and Saint-Cyr-l’École.
To support these initiatives, the agglomeration offers assistance to residents, including advice and training for master composters, to ensure the autonomous and convivial management of composting sites.
This approach aligns with eco-responsibility, helping to reduce household waste volume, decrease unpleasant odors, and adopt a new sorting practice with tangible daily benefits.
