Created in 2017, Smictom Nord-Aveyron brings together 24 elected officials from the Comtal, Lot and Truyère communities, as well as those of Aubrac, Carladez and Viadène.
This intercommunal union covers 42 municipalities, representing a population of 29,797 inhabitants. The main mission of Smictom is the collection of household waste, while waste treatment is entrusted to Sydom Aveyron, based in Millau. The organization employs 35 agents, both technical and administrative, to carry out its missions.
The 2023 annual report highlighted the progress made in selective collection and the many initiatives put in place to raise awareness among residents about waste reduction. The year also saw significant investments in infrastructure, aimed at improving the efficiency of waste collection and treatment. However, the rising costs of waste treatment remain a major concern for the union.
In 2017, the treatment cost €121 per tonne, to which €15 of TGAP (general tax on polluting activities) had to be added, for a total of €136 per tonne. In 2023, these amounts increased sharply, reaching €196 per tonne, with an additional cost of €48 for sorting treatment, bringing the total to €244 per tonne treated.
Waste reduction: a key issue
Faced with these increases, controlling collection costs has become a priority for Smictom, which strives to maintain a quality service while preserving a balanced budget.
The union places particular emphasis on raising awareness among residents about reducing unsorted waste, particularly in black bins.
One of the main challenges remains the management of biowaste, which still represents around 40% of the volume of household waste. This biowaste, mainly composed of food scraps and peelings, could however be sorted and recovered in a more ecological way.
Smictom hopes to reduce their proportion and, ultimately, reduce the economic and environmental impact linked to waste management.
A future focused on innovation
The 2023 annual report confirms Smictom Nord-Aveyron’s desire to continue to innovate to improve its services while limiting costs. Raising awareness among residents and optimizing infrastructure remain at the heart of its priorities, with the aim of contributing to more sustainable and environmentally friendly waste management.
