What if your “waste” became someone else’s wealth? This is the challenge of Zero Gaspi Week, which takes place from April 20 to 25, 2026 in the recycling centers of the Hénin-Carvin urban area.

For six days, the Agglo highlights reuse and waste reduction. Activities are organized to raise awareness among residents: how to sort better, how to give a second life to objects, how to consume differently.

On the practical side, collection points for objects in good condition will be set up to allow their redistribution rather than their destruction. Furniture, clothes, books, appliances… rather than throwing away, consider depositing!

This citizen initiative is part of the sustainable development policy carried out by the Agglo Hénin-Carvin, a territory which makes the ecological transition a priority. The mining area, a land of tradition and solidarity, has always known how to promote what has value — including everyday objects.

Take the opportunity to do some spring sorting at home and participate in this collective momentum. Every gesture counts!
