What SICTOM du MARSAN does

SICTOM du Marsan (Syndicat Intercommunal de Collecte et de Traitement des Ordures Ménagères du Marsan) is a French public intercommunal mixed syndicate (Syndicat Mixte fermé) founded in 1974 and headquartered in Saint-Perdon, Landes department (40). The organization is responsible for household waste collection, selective sorting, treatment, recycling center management, and waste prevention programs across 42+ communes spanning six intercommunal structures: Mont-de-Marsan Agglomération, Landes d'Armagnac, Coeur Haute-Lande, Pays de Villeneuve en Armagnac Landais, Pays Grenadois, and Chalosse Tursan. Its service portfolio spans door-to-door collection of household waste, yellow-bin recyclables, and green waste; 8 déchèteries (recycling centers); 16 shared composting zones; free individual composter distribution; and a mobile application ('Mes déchets SICTOM du Marsan') providing personalized collection calendars and notifications.

The syndicate operates a network of automated side-loading collection trucks, underground containers for glass and paper, compactors for plastics/cardboard/metals, and educational facilities. Recyclable packaging is processed at the €20M modernized Paprec sorting center at Illats (Gironde), which operates under extended sorting guidelines accepting all plastic packaging and uses windshifter and Foucault current separation technologies. The Déchèterie du Conte (opened November 2020) features an innovative quay-free design that eliminates fall risks and supports an 850 m² green waste platform. The educational program reaches 2,266 students across 107 classes in 42 schools annually on waste sorting, composting, and food waste reduction.

SICTOM du Marsan is funded via the Taxe d'Enlèvement des Ordures Ménagères (TEOM, municipal property tax on member communes), the Redevance Spéciale (special levy on households and businesses outside TEOM), and service fees for municipalities and businesses. It is governed by a 15-member bureau of elected officials led by President Jean-Louis Darrieutort (elected May 2025, succeeding Jean-Paul Alyre), with no private ownership, no parent company, and no publicly traded shares. Customer segments include households, municipalities, businesses, schools, and associations, served via event-driven community engagement, school programs, and partnership-based awareness campaigns.
