Nettoyons le Sud à Saint-Tropez

Millions of tons of waste are produced every year in the South of France, causing disastrous pollution. To protect our environment and our territory, we're organizing a major waste collection operation in Saint-Tropez. A region at the forefront of the fight against plastic pollution, the South of France has set itself a clear objective: zero plastic waste by 2030. With the "Nettoyons le Sud" operation, more than 20,000 volunteers were mobilized in 2024 to clean up our streets, parks and beaches, collecting 85 tonnes of waste in over 300 partner communities.

In 2023, waste was collected on the Canoubiers beach. A collection of submerged waste was carried out in the bay with the Odyssée Bleue association.

In 2024, the operation was repeated at La Bouillabaisse beach with several partners, including the USECAN association and Les Sauveteurs en mer.

In 2025, again under the aegis of the SUD PACA region, the town of Saint-Tropez organized a major waste collection operation on the Salins beach.

The day will be marked by the 50th anniversary of the Conservatoire du Littoral, owner of the Domaine Emile OLLIVIER - Château de la Moutte.

Those who wish to do so can visit the Château de la Moutte and the botanical park, and take part in the "seeds" workshops run by Cédric Pollet, botanical photographer, to develop their senses and knowledge of wood, bark and seeds.

We look forward to seeing you on April 26, 2025 at 9:30 a.m. in the Château de la Moutte park for the third edition of "Nettoyons le Sud", and hope to see even more of you there. Registration will be open to the public in March.
