LA RECYCLERIE DE GâTINE
Gâtine RecyclingDescription
This recycling project is run by the 'Recyclerie de Gâtine' and association regulated by the 1901 laws.
Its aim is to collect, repair and redistribute objects which otherwise would have ended up in landfill.
It it all about re-using, repairing and recycling in order to reduce the amount of rubbish in bins and to encourage buying second hand rather than new. Which helps to reduce the waste of natural resources.
The association also encourages people to think about their effect on the environment and to move away from the model of 'buy, use once, chuck away' which has become so prevalent.
The recycling centre enables people to pick up a whole range of items very cheaply. This supports an economic model of buying locally, recycling and re-using and incidentally but importantly establishes social contacts and encourages people to lend a helping hand.
Things you no longer have a use for?? Bring them along, they are sure to be of use to someone else!
