As part of improving its waste management service, the TPM metropolis is launching a multi-material collection (plastic, metal, paper, and cardboard). This initiative is made possible by the commissioning of the new Sittomat sorting center in La Farlède, which will handle all household packaging from the territory.
From November 1, 2026, sorting becomes simpler: plastic, cardboard, and metal household packaging, as well as paper, must be placed in the single YELLOW-lidded sorting bin. The grey bin will disappear on this date, and its contents should be mixed with those of the yellow bin. The grey bin will no longer be used and will be collected by metropolitan services for recycling or reuse.
The collection days for the multi-material yellow bin will remain Tuesday and Saturday (yellow bin to be put out Monday evening and Friday evening). The collection days for household waste (brown bin) will not change.
For residents in collective housing, the grey-lidded bins in the waste areas will be progressively replaced by yellow-lidded bins. Sorting columns with grey closures will also be transformed into yellow ones for those not equipped with bins.
