Yellow recycling bin filled with paper and cardboard on a street in Bras.

Starting January 1, 2027, the municipality of Bras is simplifying waste sorting: all paper can now be placed in the yellow packaging bins and collection points.

This new measure aims to make daily life easier for residents by consolidating several types of waste. Books, notebooks, magazines, newspapers, envelopes, gift wrap, and bakery bags will now join plastic, cardboard, and metal packaging in the yellow bin.
Regarding the blue bins, which were exclusively for paper until now, they will be gradually removed from the territory starting October 1, 2026.
The municipality encourages residents to adopt this new sorting habit immediately, without waiting for the official January 1, 2027 date. The goal is to change habits while maintaining the town's environmental commitment.
