The introduction of this fee will, for example, help to finance the reprocessing of waste to increase selective sorting, increase the progressive mulching of flower beds and, in the years to come, the creation of various eco-responsible projects, such as the creation of a compost area and more economical water treatment. Providing maintenance teams with more environmentally-friendly products (eco-responsible toilet paper, green cleaning products).
