To support its inhabitants, the community of communes Causses and Dordogne Valley (Cauvaldor) launches in June a distribution of individual composters (garden and food waste).
Since January 1, 2024, sorting of bio-waste at Source has been mandatory. If for some composting is already a habit, others will be able to adopt this practice.
A composting kit offered to residents
The elected officials of Cauvaldor have chosen to offer a composting kit to the inhabitants of the area. Everyone will be able to respond to these new regulations and above all act for the environment. Cauvaldor in partnership with SYDED, in addition to providing a kit, raises user awareness of good practices to benefit from a quality and 100% natural fertilizer!
For Dominique Bizat, the advisor responsible for the circular economy and the Territorial Climate Air Energy Plan, the launch of this campaign is obvious: “Beyond respecting the law, there are multiple reasons to compost! This helps reduce our waste to be incinerated: 27% of our trash is compostable, while transforming this organic matter into fertilizer. Composting also helps preserve the environment by avoiding unnecessary burying or incineration of our bio-waste which would produce methane, a significant greenhouse gas. Finally, by reducing our production of waste and composting, we limit the financial impact of the regular increase in taxes linked to national regulations on the landfilling and incineration of our waste. “
In practice

A confirmation email will validate their registration.
