Anjou Bleu Communauté

What Anjou Bleu Communauté does

Anjou Bleu Communauté is a French intercommunal public authority (Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale, or communauté de communes) created in 2017 and headquartered in Segré-en-Anjou Bleu, Maine-et-Loire, France. It administers statutory public services across 11 rural and semi-rural communes: Angrie, Armaillé, Bouillé-Ménard, Bourg-l'Évêque, Candé, Carbay, Challain-la-Potherie, Chazé-sur-Argos, Loiré, Ombrée d'Anjou, and Segré-en-Anjou Bleu. Core service lines include waste management (household collection plus 5 déchèteries), urban planning and housing (Plan Local d'Urbanisme Intercommunal, BIMBY BUNTI densification program), mobility infrastructure (Voie Verte greenway, electric-bike subsidies), economic development (L'Ouvre Boîtes co-working/incubator, business zones, agricultural support), tourism promotion, water and non-collective sanitation, and energy transition advisory.

The technology stack is conventional public-sector digital infrastructure: the Intramuros mobile app (iOS/Android, deployed since 2019) for resident news, alerts, and public-issue reporting; the Ecocito online portal (anjoubleucommunaute.ecocito.com) for waste management account administration, déchèterie visit tracking, and invoice payment; and a magnetic-card access system for déchèteries with an 18-passage annual allowance per household. Distribution is omnichannel — physical déchèteries, headquarters and service offices, the website, the app, and an extensive network of institutional partners (ADIL, SOLIHA, France Rénov', CAUE, PETR du Segréen, Initiative Anjou, CCI).

Anjou Bleu Communauté is funded as a public body, not through commercial revenue. Income derives from local business and residential taxes (CFE, CVAE, taxes d'habitation), central and regional government grants, and the Redevance Incitative waste fee (an incentive-based charge tied to household waste volume, billed semi-annually, with paid extras at €9.90 per additional déchèterie passage and €7.20 for card replacement). It has no parent company, no subsidiaries, no listed shares, and no venture-funding dynamics.

Revenue model

1. Taxation and intergovernmental transfers: As a French intercommunal public authority (Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale), Anjou Bleu Communauté is primarily funded through local business taxes (Cotisation Foncière des Entreprises, Cotisation sur la Valeur Ajoutée des Entreprises), residential taxes, and central/regional government grants. This constitutes the bulk of operational funding for all public services.
2. Waste management service fees: Residents are charged for waste collection services including a Redevance Incitative (incentive-based waste fee) based on volume of waste produced. Additional passage fees apply for exceeding the 18 annual déchèterie passage allowance (9.90 € per extra passage). Replacement cards are charged at 7.20 €. Fees also apply for certain professional waste disposal.

Broad incumbents

• Bordeaux Métropole: Large métropole running the full EPCI service portfolio including waste, urban planning, mobility, and economic development — relevant scale and functional comparator despite geographic distance.
• Angers Loire Métropole: The larger metropolitan intercommunal authority in Maine-et-Loire, exercising the same statutory competencies (waste, urban planning, mobility, economic development, energy transition) at significantly greater scale and budget — useful benchmark for service evolution.
• Rennes Métropole: Large French métropole operating the same EPCI competencies (waste management via its dedicated service, urban planning, mobility, economic development) — analogous operating model at metropolitan scale.
• Nantes Métropole: Major metropolitan EPCI with comprehensive waste, urban planning, mobility, and economic development programs — comparable functional scope, much larger geographic and demographic base.

Others

• Villes Vivantes: Urban planning specialist partner on the BIMBY BUNTI program; a thematic peer as a soft-densification consultancy that operates with multiple EPCIs across France and shares the same housing-renewal mission.

• Communauté de communes Loire Layon Aubance: Same-department intercommunal authority with overlapping competencies (déchèteries, urban planning PLUI, mobility, tourism) and similar rural/semi-rural population scale.
• SMICTOM du Pays de Laval: Intercommunal waste-management syndicat operating déchèteries and household waste collection across multiple rural communes — directly comparable on the core waste management mandate, narrower scope than a full communauté de communes.
