Syndicat Mixte Des Ordures Menageres

What Syndicat Mixte Des Ordures Menageres does

Syndicat Mixte Des Ordures Ménagères (SMOM) is a French public intercommunal waste management syndicate (syndicat mixte) established in 1976 and headquartered at 3 rue du Triage, Is-sur-Tille, in the Côte-d'Or department of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. It provides household waste collection, selective sorting, glass recycling, civic amenity sites (déchèteries), and bio-waste services to residents and member municipalities across a defined intercommunal territory, currently operating with 51-100 employees under President Florian PAQUET. The service portfolio includes bi-weekly residual waste collection (effective January 2024), yellow-bin selective sorting under extended sorting guidelines, dedicated glass collection points, recycling centers, an individual composting program with subsidized composters, and voluntary bio-waste drop-off points for non-composters. Communication with residents is handled through an official website (smom.fr) featuring an interactive map, downloadable sorting calendars and the Tri Avenir newsletter, and a physical office for in-person inquiries and composter sales.

SMOM's business model is that of a public-law entity rather than a commercial enterprise: it is owned and governed by its member municipalities, with funding drawn from intercommunal contributions and support from national eco-organizations such as Citeo and Adelphe. No parent company, equity investors, or funding rounds are associated with the entity, and no revenue or financial statements are publicly disclosed. Pricing for households is not transactional in the conventional sense; the most direct pricing signal is the more than 50% subsidy SMOM absorbs on composter units sold to residents. Strategic direction is anchored by intercommunal partnerships with COVATI, CCFSS, CCMF, and Tille et Venelle, and the organization markets itself as among the lowest cost-per-capita waste management structures in the region. The underlying technology stack is light: a content-driven website with an interactive map, static PDFs, and no API or mobile application.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Citeo: French eco-organization for household packaging recycling. Listed as a partner of SMOM and a key funding/EPR counterparty. Not a competitor but an ecosystem participant that materially shapes the economics of SMOM's sorting and recycling activities.

Broad incumbents

• Pizzorno Environnement: French private waste-management group operating household collection, sorting and treatment. Comparable service mix to SMOM and competes for the same municipal-contract market, though as a commercial operator rather than a syndicat mixte.
• SUEZ: Major French-headquartered water and waste-management group offering household collection, sorting, recycling and composting services. Overlaps with SMOM's full service portfolio but operates commercially rather than as a member-owned syndicat.
• Derichebourg Environnement: French environmental-services division of Derichebourg providing waste collection, sorting and recycling. Comparable in service categories but oriented to private commercial contracts and larger industrial clients.
• Veolia Environnement: Global waste-management and environmental-services incumbent with significant French operations, including municipal collection and recycling contracts. Overlaps with SMOM's service categories but competes only for outsourced contracts and serves as a benchmark for private-sector delivery.
• Séché Environnement: French listed waste-management group covering hazardous and non-hazardous treatment, collection and recycling. Comparable service mix but private-sector commercial operator and substantially larger scale than SMOM.

Direct peers

• SIREDOM: Syndicat mixte de la Région Sud-Essonne pour le traitement et la collecte des ordures ménagères. Closely comparable mid-sized French intercommunal waste syndicate offering collection, sorting and déchèterie services under member-commune governance.
• SYDED Lot: Syndicat Départemental pour l'Élimination des Déchets in Lot. A rural département-level intercommunal waste authority with similar service scope (collection, déchèteries, composting) and member-commune governance.
• SMICTOM Alsace du Nord: Local intercommunal French waste-collection and treatment syndicate. Highly comparable to SMOM in structure, scale and service mix (household collection, sorting, déchèteries, bio-waste), differing only in geography.
• Sytom Île-de-France: Syndicat mixte francilien de traitement des ordures ménagères. Directly comparable as another French intercommunal waste-treatment syndicate, also relying on member-commune governance, EPR funding and public-sector decision-making, though operating at a much larger scale.
