Selective sorting

Eliminating individual bins encourages people to adopt better waste management practices by encouraging them to use centralised collection points for selective sorting. This fosters a collective ecological awareness and reduces the contamination of recyclable waste by non-recyclable waste.

Collection points in high-traffic areas are strategically placed to encourage participation in selective sorting. The aim is to increase the overall recycling rate on campus and reduce the amount of waste produced.

Sorting points are strategically located on both campuses, in common areas, lobbies, cafeterias and close to the main buildings.
Consult the location plans.

The sorting points are designed to collect all cardboard, plastic and metal packaging.

Plastic films (water pack, milk pack, newspapers, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.), cleaning products (detergent, washing powder), bottles (shower gel, shampoo), tubes (toothpaste, cream, etc.), food bottles (water, soft drinks, milk, oil, etc.), polystyrene and plastic trays (ham, meat, ready meals, biscuits, etc.), pots (yoghurt, cream, etc.), plastic bottles (water, milk, oil, etc.).), food bottles (water, soft drinks, milk, oil), polystyrene and plastic trays (ham, meat, ready meals, biscuits, etc.), pots (yoghurt, cream, etc.), sachets (salad, biscuits, sliced bread, etc.), bags (croquettes, frozen food, etc.).

Food waste should be disposed of in the dedicated composting bins that will shortly be installed in the break areas. Clean glass is generally disposed of in specific glass containers, and clean paper goes into the paper recycling bins.

Waste that cannot be recycled must be disposed of in the bins for non-recyclable waste.

Once sorted, recyclable waste is collected by Greater Avignon once a week and transported to processing facilities where it is transformed into reusable raw materials.

- Flatten packaging and bottles lengthways (instead of squeezing them) and leave the caps on (they can be recycled too!).
- Do not stack packaging together.
- There's no need to wash your packaging before sorting it - just empty it well.
- Do not put your sorted packaging in plastic bags. They must be placed loose in your bin or voluntary collection point.
- Do not tear or crease paper before sorting.

By doing the right thing, packaging can be more easily identified at the sorting centre, so that it can be recycled.

Poor sorting practices can lead to contamination of recyclable materials, making the sorting process more difficult and more costly for the university. It can also affect the quality of the materials recycled and compromise the overall effectiveness of the recycling programme. By adopting good sorting practices, we help to facilitate the work of sorters and optimise waste recycling.
