Ps just got pass for the bins ,struggling with French at the moment. It says 12 goes then start paying is that 12 a month? Plus only see plastic and glass bins nothing for cardboard or where are compost bins ?.

Does the 12 include the dechetrie

You should have two bins: one yellow (for recyclable stuff) and one black (non recyclable). They won't accept glass in either of these bins - you'll need to take bottles etc to a communal bin. The Simer website tells you where they can be found. Food waste needs to be composted, and you can buy compost bins from Simer or any brico place.

Simer collect the bins every two weeks, so 24 times a year - you can check which days for your commune at the bottom of this page on their website.

The standard annual fee (which varies according to the size of household and thus size of bins) covers 12 collections of your two bins. Additional collections incur additional costs. There's are usually 2 bills per year, one in May and one in November or December.

Visits to the déchetterie are free and you're allowed to take in up to 5m3 per visit. I don't know if there's a limit on how often you can visit though.
