The service is generally offered twice each week with varying times for each area. Before placing any items curbside, please call 01 55 74 44 60 for direct information and scheduling. Note that it is not lawful to place oversized items on the curb without pre-authorization. For pick-up details in your area or to make an appointment on line, visit the city’s Web site and fill out the online form.

Emmaus Communautes will come to your apartment and pick up bags of clothes, shoes, toys and/or furniture that are in reusable and resalable condition. It is similar to what many Americans know as the Salvation Army. It will not come for just one bag, so if you call, be sure you have enough to make their trip worthwhile. Be prepared to tell them how much you have for pick up. Phone numbers are:
