WASTE COLLECTION

Let's mobilize and preserve the waters of the lakes together

If you want to mobilize to preserve the waters of Lake Geneva or the nearest water point to your home, here is how to collect waste. Whether it's for 10min, 1h or an afternoon, alone or in a small group, take part in this collection and list your harvest on the site  Netleman.app . In addition to our environmental impact, the data will allow the Association for the Safeguarding of Lake Geneva to carry out a study in 2022. A real participatory science! Are you free and interested? Here's how to participate in the collection:

What material do I need to collect waste?

It's very simple, first we recommend that you pick up the waste with gardening gloves, if you come across a sharp object or for more comfort. For collection bags:

 

  • For incinerables: various plastic packaging, cigarette butts, etc.

Bring one or more taxed bags, because in some municipalities it is forbidden to throw large quantities of waste in public bins. Our advice to make counting easier: separate the cigarette ends from the start.

  • For recyclable waste: PET, aluminium, glass, etc.

Bring one or more reusable bags, such as a tote bag or an ikea bag, for recyclable waste. Our advice to make counting easier: have one bag per type of waste.

 

Our last advice: do your cleaning in pairs so that one person collects the waste and the other lists it as you go on Netleman.app. Feel free to switch roles along the way.

At the end of your collection, you can go to the nearest sorting point or to a recycling centre.

Thank you in advance for your commitment!

The Association for the Protection of Lake Geneva thanks you!
Your contribution is important on two counts:
