At the Cellier de Clairvaux in Dijon, a big sale is being held all this week in the flea market spirit of objects and clothing from “la Recyclade”, an association giving a second chance to everyday objects. The stock is huge and restocked until Sunday April 21.
Giving new life to objects for which they no longer had one is the goal of recycling. This week Recyclade is offering a selection of objects, as part of an exceptional sale in Dijon.
La Recyclade has two solidarity sites in Dijon, a store in the Bourroches district and a store in Montmuzard. If you have to be a member of the association to buy in a solidarity store, this week, the exceptional sale at Cellier de Clairvaux is free. In addition, the objects offered have been sorted, as explained by Camille Fabiano, recycler at Recyclade: “We try, on certain objects, to extract them to be able to highlight them in a different way. There, we are still in one of the most beautiful places in Dijon, on a specific theme which is very popular and for which we have made a fairly precise selection.
Books, crockery, games, household appliances, furniture, decoration, music, clothing, the sale offers a wide choice

The fight against waste finds a virtuous path in the recycling of objects. And the sale offers a lot. Buyers are therefore on the lookout for great deals, like a young man who “I’m looking for LPs instead, records for my collection. There I found some nice little nuggets!” A gentleman is looking for “more like books, comics. I found a souvenir from high school” (he shows a comic strip).
A dad is delighted : “we found a big truck for my son, it was our favorite, a little shirt and then a little brush.”
Buying recycled is also for a good cause. A young man is convinced : “it is absolutely necessary today, especially since I am quite sensitive to everything that is exploitation of humans in all the big fast-fashion companies in particular, and especially to the ecological disaster that it represents. It is for I think that buying second hand is always better, it’s often cheaper and of better quality.”
Last year, 150 tonnes of objects went through Recyclade, rather than going to the recycling center. Thousands of objects, tens of thousands of items of clothing that have found a place here or there. It’s a certainty: Recyclade has a great future ahead of it. The deposit is inexhaustible.
