Solution

Responsible waste management at events is complex, requiring in-depth knowledge of local players and can sometimes be too demanding in terms of energy and time for organizers.

For 20 years now, Aremacs' expertise has enabled it to approach this mission in an effective manner, mobilizing expert employees and volunteers from a variety of socio-cultural backgrounds trained and accompanied them throughout the year. Their enthusiasm is tangible in the field, giving them privileged access to numerous events.

The money will be used for

Donations collected will be used to:

- Purchase equipment to take care of volunteers and teams, such as lined and waterproof gloves for cold and rainy days, sturdy oilskins, barnums for shelter during waste sorting, speakers for a pleasant musical ambience even amidst the garbage cans, etc.

- Retention of civic services, at least by offering them a seasonal contract to further enhance their professional experience (a quarter of them have been hired on permanent contracts).

- Helping to repair the vehicles, which are old and often require visits to the garage.
