Larger storage capacity

for local operators

At Saint-Martin, the storage capacity

for operators has been increased

To avoid the shutdown of collection

rounds due to saturation CYCLEVIA has

installed a doublewalled 20m

drum

with a retention tank Furthermore

the facilities enabling trucks to empty

their contents into tanks have also been

improved CYCLEVIA funded the entire

operation within the context of its waste

prevention and management plan

for the French Overseas Territories

An exceptional

project for safer

collection

ignif icantly exceeding

the aid usually provided

to local authorities, CYCLEVIA

delivered three drums to the

islands in 2024. Two were installed

in municipal recycling facilities

at Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.

The third will be used on the

inter-island ferry to ensure

safe transport by sea. Entirely

funded by CYCLEVIA, these

long-lasting* drums are resistant

to maritime conditions and provide

a sustainable solution for private

individuals and local authorities.

*Service life: on average 40 years

when protected from the weather.

2.2 TONNES OF WASTE OILS

COLLECTED DURING

THE “KAY PWOP” ROUNDS

In association with local

partners*, CYCLEVIA

provided informal

garages in Cayenne

with waste oil storage

drums. The GPS

coordinates of these

garages were recorded

in order to facilitate

future collection

operations. This

initiative also benefits

from an awareness-

raising campaign

to promote best

practice in handling

this hazardous waste.

A PLAN TO FURTHER DEVELOP THE SKILLS OF COLLECTION-TRANSFER

STATION OPERATORS

CYCLEVIA has launched an ambitious plan to improve waste oil management.

This programme, benefiting from exceptional investment, is being rolled out

in several phases. The first consists in assisting the collection-transfer station

operator Guibert Frères to ensure the development of skills, to fund a safety

advisor post and to ensure that teams receive specialised training*.

*In partnership with the EcoDDS and Batribox producer responsibility organisations.

CYCLEVIA

has been

a partner

of the town of Saint-

Pierre for three years.

It is a very successful

partnership, which has

enabled us to install

new tanks that comply

with standards

and are much

more practical.

The organisation’s

involvement

in the islands has

enabled us to set

up a truly effective

and environmentally

responsible waste oil

management system.”

EXPERT VIEW

Communications Manager,

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.
