« IN 2050, THE WORD « waste » WILL BE REMOVED FROM OUR VOCABULARY, AND THE USELESS FOR SOME WILL BECOME THE RESOURCES FOR OTHERS. » H.S.H. PRINCE ALBERT II

The Société Monégasque d'Assainissement (SMA) and the Department of Urban Amenities, in partnership with the Monaco City Council, invite you to the 4th edition of MonaCollecte, the solidarity event focusing on waste collection, reuse and recycling.

At this event, come and drop off everything you want to get rid of in one place!

Several charities will be on hand to collect what can be reused (clothes, toys, books, IT equipment, small electrical appliances, etc.). The rest will be recycled or processed by the SMA.

There will be free events, exhibitions and information stands on waste collection, sorting, recycling and processing.
