thanks to its excellent geographical
coverage, will also be a very good way
of raising public awareness of the
dangers of waste and the rules for
sorting it. Initially scheduled to begin
in the f irst half of 2025, the project
had to be suspended in December
2024 due to Cyclone Chido and its
devastating consequences. As the
situation on the ground is slowly
improving, the operation has been
postponed until 2026. It should also
be complemented by the reactivation
of collection points in independent
garages and by participation in mobile
recycling units, which did not yet collect
waste oil. In total, around twenty
new locations will thus be accessible
to the people of Mayotte.
