Food waste sorting in 2024: France 3's report from Toulon

A great report by France 3 on composting and vermicomposting solutions, featuring our little Willys! It was filmed with SITTOMAT, the waste treatment authority for the Toulon area, and Isabelle. Well done to Julia and her son Nolan, who show off their set-up.

2024: food waste concerns everyone

In January 2024, separating food waste at source became widespread in France. Local authorities must offer every resident a way to stop throwing their food waste out with general household rubbish: either a separate collection or local composting.

To find out what the French law actually says, read our page mandatory food waste sorting since 2024.

Which solution should you choose?

• The garden compost bin: ideal if you have space and garden waste.
• The wormery: perfect for flats, it produces a very rich fertiliser.
• The bokashi: it accepts all leftovers, including meat and dairy.
• The shared compost bin: at the foot of your building or in your neighbourhood.

To help you choose, take a look at our comparison compost, vermicompost, bokashi or EM.
