The Recyclerie des Moulins is a sustainable flagship project to promote the re-use and recycling of waste for the local Green Deal: when circular economy becomes a driver for employment, social integration, environmental education and urban regeneration.

​​​Opened in May 2018, the Recyclerie des Moulins is an innovative recycling unit located in an urban priority neighbourhood of Nice which includes:- A 194 m2 building allowing reception of recyclable and reusable bulky items collected in the Moulins district (in streets or at home),- A public space for the voluntary collection of objects from the district delivered by citizens comprising an inner sorting zone,- A recycling space with an interior area for repairing small objects (such as small appliances, furniture, etc.), for exhibitions, sales and reception of the public,- An external and internal pedagogical space based around collective composting, a shared garden, waste sorting and recycling. 
Built by the Metropole Nice Côte d'Azur, the management of the Recyclerie is entrusted, by way of public procurement, to a local NGO (GALICE) with the aim of promoting the social and solidarity economy as well as social inclusion through circular economy. 
Indeed, the Recyclerie des Moulins is a living and evolving space that combines the three pillars of sustainable development:- Environmental: waste reduction and awareness raising for the eco-citizens of tomorrow,- Social: improvement of the living environment by collecting and recycling bulky waste,- Economic: consumption at an affordable price and professional reintegration activity. 
This project contributes fully to the objectives of the sustainable urban development strategy defined by the Métropole.
