Composting sites

Yes, they have garbage here.  They recycle paper, PET plastic, aluminun and other metal, and glass.  They also encourage backyard composting.

This is a windrow composting facility that is very similar to those we use in Toronto for yard waste.  The windrow material here also appears to be primarily yard waste.  I have not had any indication that they collect leaf and yard waste here in Meze, but they obviously collect it somewhere.  This facility is in Villeveyrac, 15 km from Meze.  In the background, you may notice a million seagulls.  That's because there is a landfill right behind the composting  site.  Most of the non-recyclables in this area are landfilled (as opposed to incinerated).
