SMICTOM du Pays de Fougères

What SMICTOM du Pays de Fougères does

SMICTOM du Pays de Fougères is a French public intercommunal syndicate (Syndicat Mixte de Collecte et de Traitement des Ordures Ménagères) founded in 1974 and headquartered in Javené, Brittany. It operates as the mandated public authority for household and professional waste collection, treatment, and recycling across the Pays de Fougères territory, covering more than 55 communes including Fougères, Maen Roch, Louvigné-du-Désert, and Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier. The syndicate's core infrastructure consists of scheduled curbside collection routes, a network of déchèteries (recycling centers) at Javené, Maen Roch, and Louvigné-du-Désert, with an additional site opening at Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier on 15 June 2026, plus transfer facilities, composting platforms, and the La Recyclerie reuse center at Maen Roch. Supporting digital channels include a public website portal for account and badge management and the L'Appli Montri mobile application for iOS and Android, which provides residents with collection schedules and service alerts.

The organization's service portfolio spans residual waste collection, recyclable (yellow bag) collection, green-waste and bulky-waste reception at déchèteries, hazardous-waste streams (chemicals, batteries, asbestos, electronics), textile collection via Le Relais under the Refashion compliance scheme, composter distribution and training, grinder rental, and educational programs including the Mon Foyer (presque) Zéro Déchet initiative and school composting. Waste treatment is delivered in partnership with Valoriz, the dedicated treatment syndicate, covering energy-recovery facilities, composting platforms, and sorting centers.

SMICTOM is funded primarily through the Redevance Incitative, an annual usage-based household waste fee calculated by waste volume or weight, replacing or supplementing flat-rate fees in line with French national waste-reduction policy. Governance is exercised by a Comité Syndical of elected representatives from member municipalities; there is no private ownership, no parent company, and no commercial equity. The organization's stated strategic posture emphasizes circular-economy outcomes (reuse, repair, composting, food-waste prevention) and the harmonization of service access across the territory.
