Your local authority's waste app, free for your residents
Up-to-date collection days, checked full-bin reports, garden waste shredding, a weighed reuse area and the article 58 return: one service, in your name, set to your municipalities and to your area's public data. For French local authorities.
Sound familiar?
Seven situations waste services live with
“The waste tax keeps rising, and people ask why”
Your profile ranks, from YOUR area's public data, the actions that weigh most in tonnes, without ever putting the burden on residents.
“Recycling centres overflow with garden and bulky waste”
Shredding at home with neighbours grouped, a weighed reuse area: tonnes stay in the garden or go back into use.
“Bins overflow and the switchboard keeps ringing”
Residents report a full container after checking it is really full; your teams see which ones really overflow.
“The calendar changes, the PDF does not”
A calendar updated week by week, bank holidays included, that updates itself in the phone's calendar.
“The article 58 return is due by 30 June”
Entry by official category, value of donations from the 2024 scale, a file in the national format ready to submit.
“The prevention plan is adopted, now it needs running”
Practical tools for residents, and kilos handed over or shredded counted gesture by gesture, with their calculation rule.
“Nobody has time to check the contractor's invoice”
Waste management sets each collection invoice against the imported bin lifts and weighings, and explains every difference.
For your residents
Four services in their pocket, in French and English
Collection days
Which bin to put out, this week and next, with the changes you enter.
Full bin
Photo, location, “I have checked” boxes: a useful report, and residents see when the container is emptied.
For the local authority
For your teams: what needs action comes first
The local authority home screen first shows what awaits a decision (reports to handle, bank holidays to settle, shredding requests to schedule), then the figures: kilos handed over or shredded, registered residents, municipalities covered.
- Your profile: your public facts (INSEE, ADEME) and the priority actions for YOUR area, each with its source.
- Overflow measurement: containers confirmed full, by day and by type.
- The reuse area register: only what is handed on counts.
- The article 58 return, in the national format.

The recyclerie, online
Residents give items they no longer need to other residents of their municipality, free of charge, with no advertising and no tokens to buy, unlike advertising-funded giveaway platforms. Pick-up at the giver's home or at a public meeting point chosen by the local authority; what nobody takes is pointed to its drop-off points (second-hand shop, reuse area at the recycling centre). More on the recyclerie.
Management side
For the service: waste management
A second block, for the service team: each month it checks the bin lifts, recycling centre visits and weighings exported by your software and contractor, simulates your pay-as-you-throw charge or tax schedules, and sets the collection invoice against the quantities recorded. It sits on top of your software, without replacing it. Waste management.

Price
Free for your residents, a published price for the local authority
Residents pay nothing: no advertising, no in-app purchases. The local authority pays a subscription. From €125 to €800 excl. VAT per month depending on the size of the local authority, on quote above 150,000 residents. Setting up your organisation is paid once, for the whole organisation, whatever the number of blocks; then you add blocks as you need them (15% off from two blocks).
See local authority pricing (size bands and an example).
The one-month access commits you to nothing: it ends by itself. The QR sticker files for the bins are provided; printing is available as an option, on quote.
Prices exclude VAT; VAT is added at the applicable rate when it is due. The population used is the municipal population published by INSEE (for an inter-municipal body: that of all its municipalities). One-year contract, renewable up to three times. One electronic invoice per quarter, for the quarter just ended, submitted through Chorus Pro (the French public invoicing portal); payment within 30 days. Offered by Challl, of which Ngento is a trade name.
