The municipal council of Gacé met last Thursday, under the presidency of Jean Grimbertmayor. It was decided to maintain, in the city, a passage for the door-to-door collection of household waste, and a passage for sorting.

A development project

Before starting the meeting, Adeline Lemeltierproject manager for “small towns of tomorrow”, was invited to present to the council the development project for rue de Strasbourg, as part of the bicycle plan.

I would like this project to provide for the maintenance of the sidewalk along the cycle path, the removal of the green strip in the center, between vehicles and bicycles, and its replacement with a plot-type demarcation. In addition, I inform you that any modification made to the direction of traffic must be validated by the municipal council.

This modification risk of being complicated, due to the passage of school buses.

10,000 euros monthly savings on collection

The mayor informs, “the Community of communes of the Auge and Merlerault valleys voted, on September 11, 2023, the implementation of the waste plan in order to face the economic and environmental challenges of the next decade, with the reduction of waste, the optimization of collections by promoting sorting actions, the recovery and reuse of waste.

The launch of new collection methods is a major challenge for the Cdc which estimates the savings generated on the cost of collection and sorting performance to be more than €10,000 per month (€600,000 over a five-year market). by modifying the voluntary collection points and switching almost all residents of the territory to this collection method.

The voluntary drop-off point platforms will be systematically equipped to receive household waste, dry recyclables and glass. By respecting the environmental and safety rules for service providers.

An additional cost for municipalities

Municipalities choosing collection in door to door will involve passing on the additional cost to users over the duration of the market. “Different debates took place in 2022 and 2023, and the Cdc was informed of the city’s wish to Gaped to maintain a door-to-door collection method with a frequency of two visits instead of three”, recalls the mayor, proposing the rearrangement of voluntary drop-off points with semi-buried containersrue du livestock market, rue de Judée, rue Appolo Creation of a platform near Tahiti.
