 LA RECYCLERIE VAR EST & ATELIERS DE MAMY BLUE. Above all, these are eco-friendly, practical, people-oriented, and community-friendly initiatives! Reduce waste.  Buying secondhand and repairing items is also common sense and "smart" consumption.

The association is committed to the ecological transition by promoting the reduction of (non-hazardous) waste through recycling initiatives, to limit the environmental impact of landfilling in the Var.  Objects, furniture, household waste, and materials are collected, processed, recycled, and repurposed for reuse.
