Cleanliness and waste

Collected by our municipal "household waste" agents, the semi-underground containers are installed in each neighbourhood and consist of three different waste containers for sorting:

• Household waste
• Glasses
• Packaging and paper -> New : since the beginning of 2023, waste sorting has been simplified in the Haute Tarentaise! There are only four instructions to follow: well emptied, unwashed, loose and separated!

Tips : can my packaging be recycled? Ask sorting guide !

Cardboard and textiles : 

• Large cardboard boxes must be flattened and deposited in the cardboard cottages located near the containers.
• A textile terminal has been set up near the bus station to collect textiles and process them through a specific recovery and recycling channel; thus avoiding landfill or incineration.

Collection of infectious healthcare waste

Essential from a health point of view, the sorting of Healthcare Waste with Infectious Risks - DASRI*- is clearly differentiated from that of recyclable packaging, so as not to endanger the employees on the sorting lines who could be stung by potentially dangerous waste. Collection is carried out confidentially and free of charge by the communauté de communes four times a year. This waste must first be stored in boxes to be collected from your pharmacist.

* needles, syringes, blades, razors, scalpels, etc., but not soft objects such as strips, absorbent cotton, soiled compresses, etc.

The fact of sort your waste allows treatment facilities to recycle as much material as possible. Indeed, different treatments have to be applied to waste depending on its composition, so it is not yet possible to recycle mixed materials. Recycling reduces the consumption of natural raw materials such as wood, oil, silica sand and natural metals. It also limits CO2 emissions caused by the processing and transportation of materials. Companies can also set up a waste management process to reduce the amount of waste they generate. the company's carbon footprintThe environmental impact of their activity.
