Other waste
Some waste has specific treatment and recovery channels and is not handled by the Metropole's public household waste management service.
For some, medicines for example, it is necessary to take them back to where you bought the product:
- Electrical and electronic equipment
- Do-it-yourself and garden thermal items
- Sports and leisure items
- Tires: drop off at a professional
- Gas bottles: drop off at an outlet that distributes the bottle brand
- Furniture, games and toys, DIY and garden items and other household items
- Expired or unused medicines: drop off at any pharmacy. Identify collected medicines from uncollected health products
- Chemical waste: DIY products (paints, coatings, glues, acids, solvents etc.), vehicle maintenance (coolant), gardening (insecticides, biocides, phytosanitary products etc.)
- Construction waste
