Places to visit Science and technology Jura

The Jura pioneered the establishment of the uniform collection and sorting system throughout the department, before it expanded at national level in the 1980 s. Many cities have long been the «eco-citizens' commune». The recyclable waste of the inhabitants, grouped in a single blue bin per family, is collected "door-to-door", then manually differentiated at the sorting center and then recycled in some areas, creating jobs. As for the contents of the gray lid trash, it is incinerated at the adjacent plant. The heat of the incineration is recovered in particular to heat collective housing and the Aqua 'Rel center of Lons-le-Saunier. Visit places where garbage is sorted and incinerated? What a funny idea! However, the staff of the CDTOM welcome an average of 3,000 visitors per year. The free visit of the centers is instructive in many ways. The processes of waste management in the Jura and all facilities can be discovered. Documents are also available through the site and social network.
