Facing difficulties encountered by some residents in successfully composting individually, Nîmes Métropole is launching a new free support service. The goal is to improve practices and promote waste reduction within the territory.

Individual composting is a simple ecological action, but it requires adopting the right practices to be effective. To support residents in its area, Nîmes Métropole is implementing free, personalized assistance. This service aims to resolve common issues such as compost that is too wet, too dry, emits odors, or attracts insects.
Residents can receive tailored advice to optimize the functioning of their compost bin or vermicomposter and adopt good daily habits. To benefit from this support, simply fill out an online request form.
In parallel, a survey has been launched to better understand the composting habits of Nîmes Métropole users. It will help identify encountered difficulties and adapt future support actions to the actual needs of the population. This initiative is part of a broader effort to develop more effective practices and significantly reduce waste.
All practical information regarding support methods, access to the request form, and participation in the survey is available in the official press release from Nîmes Métropole.
