The Communauté de communes des Vallons du Lyonnais (CCVL) is participating in the European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR), taking place from November 21st to 29th, by offering various free events for all audiences.

From Saturday, November 21st to Saturday, November 28th, two collection boxes will be available in the hall of the Piscine des Vallons du Lyonnais for sports and leisure equipment, as well as gardening and DIY materials. This initiative is organized in partnership with the association Val’Trions. Donated items, which must still be usable, will be destined for the [Re]Trouvailles shops managed by Val’Trions, giving them a second life.
The CCVL's Environment department is offering a free workshop titled 'Composting and Natural Gardening', led by the association Eisenia. This workshop, open to children, will be an opportunity to exchange tips on managing organic waste. A certificate of attendance may allow participants to benefit from purchase assistance for a composter, shredder, worm composter, or mulching kit.
For younger audiences, the Maison pour Tous (MPT) of Thurins, and the MJCs of Vaugneray and Brindas will host an ecological game called 'Ecological Werewolf'. Additionally, a garbage truck will visit CCVL leisure centers (TYM in Thurins and Brind’Paradis in Brindas) for Q&A sessions about waste collection and related professions.
