Garbage collection will take place until 4 p.m. During these 2 hours, participants will be invited to stroll through the surrounding neighborhoods and along the banks of the Seine to collect as much waste as possible. At the end of the followingnoon, the participants will be made aware of the sorting of waste by the teams of the CleanWalker and Alban association in order to better understand and take stock of their collection.

Vivre Vert will also be there to offer activities and share their thoughts on the subject.
