A pioneer in this area, the Eurometropolis of Strasbourg will generalize the collection of food waste from individuals. It is a new device that it has been experimenting with since 2019 in Holtzheim, one of its 33 municipalities, then in certain districts of Strasbourg. It is preparing to extend this system to the entire conurbation by 2025, including the city center of Strasbourg, in 2024. Already, 400 collection terminals have been installed in municipalities with less than 10,000 inhabitants since 2022 .
Each sector will indeed be equipped with collection terminals, a device that remains complementary to your own composting. Are particularly targeted the inhabitants who do not have a garden or enough space to have one at home, but also to reduce by half the contents of the blue bins of the agglomeration. And for this to be concretely achievable, a bio bucket and reinforced and recyclable paper bags will be made available free of charge or left for each home. Additional advantage to compost, it is possible to put food waste such as bones, cheeses, cooked leftovers, bones, chicken carcasses, oyster shells…
