Do you keep games and toys in your cellars, attics, cupboards or shelves that you no longer use? From November 18 to 30, 2024, come and drop them off in one of the 11 recycling centers of the Point Fort Environnement de la Manche network, which participates, in partnership with the Tri-Tout Solidaire association, in the national operation “Let your heart speak”.

All kinds of toys accepted

This is the opportunity to do fun for children for Christmas, but also to make a gesture in favor of the environment, through reuse.

“It’s number 9^e year that Point Fort and Tri-Tout Solidaire took part in the operation, explains Isabelle Lehodey, communications manager at Point Fort. The first year, only one recycling center participated. Today, the 11 we manage are stakeholders. »

And last year, between 800 kg and one ton toys were collected.

All kinds of toys are accepted: electric, electronic, wooden, construction, board, stuffed animals, dolls, etc.

The 11 recycling centers where you can drop off your toys

Your toys – in good condition – can be dropped off in 11 recycling centers equipped with a collection point for toys.

Eight are located in the territory of Saint-Lô Agglo: in Saint-Lô, Condé-sur-Vire, Saint-Martin-de-Bonfossé, Pont-Hébert, Le Dézert, Marigny-le-Lozon, Tessy-Bocage and Saint-Lô Clair-on-Elle. The three other participating recycling centers are those of Carentan-les-Marais, Villedieu-les-Poêles and Percy-en-Normandie.

“A collection point is also open within the Saint-Lô media library,” specifies Isabelle Lehodey.

Toys then sorted by Tri-Tout Solidaire

Once donated, the toys will be verified by the Tri-Tout Solidaire association, created in 2005: objects with electronics will be tested and repaired if necessary; games and toys with small pieces, such as puzzles or Lego boxes, will be counted to ensure they are complete.

Special Christmas sale from December 9

Finally, everything is cleaned before being offered for sale. A special Christmas sale will also be organized from Monday December 9. The toys will be offered at very low prices, “so that all families can enjoy the Christmas holidays”.

Non-reusable toys will be entrusted to Ecomaison or ecosystem, the two other partners in the operation. They will be decontaminated and recycled in France.

So, are you ready to let your heart speak?

Come and drop off your waste at the relevant recycling centers, from November 18 to 30, 2024, during opening hours. Special Christmas sale, from December 9, 2024, at Tri-Tout Solidaire, 31 Q, rue Guillaume Michel, in Agneaux.
