The municipality of Saint-Georges-d'Orques is implementing a new free system for biodegradable waste collection, aiming to simplify organic waste sorting for all residents.

To encourage the valorization of organic waste and reduce the volume of household garbage, a new biodegradable waste collection system is being deployed in Saint-Georges-d'Orques. This ecological initiative is designed to be simple and fast, regardless of housing type.
Each household will directly receive a free bioseau (organic waste bin) at home, accompanied by kraft bags. The principle is straightforward: all food waste, without exception, can be placed in the bin. The kraft bag, once full, should be discarded directly into the collection point with its contents. It can also be reused if still in good condition.
It is imperative to use only kraft bags, whether supplied by the municipality, from local shops, or purchased commercially. The use of plastic bags, even those labeled 'biodegradable,' is strictly prohibited due to plastic particles incompatible with environmental valorization standards. Additional bags will not be distributed for ecological and economic reasons.
If your bioseau has not been delivered, residents can collect it directly from the Mairie de Saint-Georges-d'Orques or a participating post office. The municipality urges its citizens to take concrete action for the environment and the future of the community.
