Sitom Sud Gard, Smictom Rhône Garrigues and Sud Rhône Environnement are joining forces with ecosystem and Ecomaison to organize a large collection of used toys from November 16 to December 8.
From November 16 to December 8, 42 collection points will be made available to residents, so that they can drop off all their unused toys, with a view to their reuse or, failing that, their recycling.
How to participate?
All unused toys are accepted, whether electric, electronic, wooden, construction, board, or fabric. Not forgetting the disguises, puzzles, dolls etc. which are also welcome as part of the collection.
All donations will be entrusted to four local associations: Emmaüs Arles and Vaucluse-Courthézon, HumaNîmes and Secours Populaire du Gard; to then be sorted, tested, completed, cleaned and refurbished, with a view to being offered to low-income families or resold at solidarity prices, as the end-of-year holidays approach.
A second life for games and toys
The major solidarity toy collection “Laisse Parler ton Cœur” celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2024. Organized throughout France, previous editions have collected more than 18,650 toy baskets, the equivalent of 292 tonnes of games and toys. This operation also raises awareness among French people of all ages about the gesture of solidarity donation, reuse and recycling while each year, more than 100,000 tonnes of non-electric toys are thrown away in France.
