These two strong fellows have respectively 3,000 and 2,500 m2 of land. So, they know about mowing and pruning trees and hedges. “We come on average three times a year to take the branches to the recycling center,” explains the first. That morning, at Bosmie l'Aiguille, most of the vehicles were going to deposit their “green waste” on the huge pile provided for this purpose, against the back wall.
In 2023, 12,100 tonnes of green waste were taken to recycling centers in the territory covered by Syded (which corresponds to the Haute-Vienne department minus Limoges Métropole). “At Syded, 28% of flows in our 25 recycling centers concern plants,” explains Pauline Jauget, eco-facilitator within the joint union. Worse, “at the start of the year, we had a 16% increase in deposits,” explains Alain Auzeméry, president of Syded.
The young woman with sky blue eyes is responsible, at the end of the year, for announcing the new regulations which will come into force on January 1st and which will halve the number of passages and the volume of green waste that citizens will be able to deposit in the Syded structures. It will now be ten passages and 5 m3 per year and per household. “We are already well informed,” explains the two men. We have a shredder, a composter and a special bin for peelings. I follow the regulations and if I didn't want to, my wife made me do it. »
“A little more restrictive”
This testimony reflects a change in mentality. Five years ago, a previous reduction caused great excitement. “I don’t really understand this quota,” explained Guy, a resident of Aixe-sur-Vienne. I experienced the period of illegal dumping and I fear that we will return to abandonment in vague paths or people will start burning again, even though we are making the effort to come to avoid that. » But in one morning on the Bosmie site, no one will display the same reluctance in 2019. “We communicated a lot and people are becoming aware that we must limit waste production as much as possible,” says Alain Auzeméry.
