In order to reduce the environmental impact of on-the-go consumption, Orléans Métropole has set up a waste sorting system directly in public spaces. This system covers packaging and paper, which are often poorly sorted due to a lack of suitable infrastructure.
The program provides for the installation of more sorting equipment across the metropolis's 22 municipalities. It includes dual-stream bins, bin shelters, and sorting columns, accessible to passers-by.
A first step in this rollout took place during the summer of 2025, mainly in the city of Orléans, where around thirty collection points have already been put into service.
Ultimately, around 350 various pieces of equipment will be installed across the entire metropolitan area. The goal is to make sorting easier for citizens and to recycle more waste from out-of-home consumption.
Sorting instructions will be clearly displayed on these new devices to guide users in correctly separating waste.
