Waste management A local authority committed to a clean coastline

Bénodet is actively committed to preserving the quality of its living environment and coastal landscapes. Waste management is handled by the Communauté de Communes du Pays Fouesnantais (CCPF), in partnership with the commune, to ensure efficient collection and optimised sorting all year round.


Organisation of collection

Household wastecollection day:
Friday of odd-numbered weeks, between 4.30 a.m. and 12 noon
All year round, except 25 December and 1 January

Collection by bin mainly concerns single-family homes and businesses. Household waste (grey bins) and recyclable packaging (yellow bins) are collected in Bénodet every Friday. Waste service staff make their rounds between 4.30am and 12pm.

Withthe exception of 25 December and 1 January, collections take place all year round. To facilitate the work of the staff, grey and yellow binsshould be placed at the nearest collection point. The fee applied is incentive-based and depends on the volume of waste and the number of lifts.

Recycling bins are located throughout the town for :

  • recyclable household waste (packaging)
  • glass
  • residual household waste

These facilities make it easy for residents and visitors alike to sort their waste at any time of day.

Good sorting habits For adoption

Yellow bin: recyclable packaging

Green bin: glass only

Blue bin: paper, newspapers, leaflets

Grey bin: non-recyclable waste
