In the heart of the town of Valbonnais, an ecological gesture is taking shape thanks to the Trièves-Compostage initiative: the municipal composting site. Nestled near the Superette Valbo Marché, this space dedicated to waste recovery offers a collective solution to reduce our environmental footprint.
At first glance, it appears as a set of three tanks and a maturation corridor. Each of these elements plays a crucial role in the composting process.
The first tank, called the “structurant tank”, houses the shredded material, a mixture of materials which promotes the decomposition of waste. This is where you will draw a little of this precious crushed material to integrate it into the second bin, that of “fresh waste”. This is where you'll throw all your kitchen waste, from vegetable peelings to paper towels.
Once your waste has been placed in the fresh waste bin, it is essential to aerate it using the claw provided to you. This simple gesture promotes better air circulation and speeds up the decomposition process.
As for the third tank, called the "ripening tank", it must remain closed permanently. It is in this bin that the final phase of composting takes place, where the micro-organisms work to transform the waste into a valuable soil conditioner.
It is important to know what can be composted: all your kitchen waste, with the exception of greasy paper from food stores which contains plastic.
Also avoid meat and fish, as they can attract animals and cause bad odors.
Thus, by following these simple instructions and being vigilant about the waste you deposit, you are contributing to the preservation of the environment and the creation of quality compost to enrich the soil of our beautiful town. from Valbonnais.
