Equip yourself easily and recycle

Are you moving in or out? Find equipment at a very modest price or give new life to your furnishings when it comes time to get rid of them. Solidarity-based, sustainable solutions exist!

Sites that provide resources and/or recycling let you find furniture, appliances and clothing at low cost.

You can also deposit your objects and clothes there, giving them a second life while contributing to ecology and solidarity.

Directory of food and student precariousness

In the digital map of LyonCampus' student solidarity initiatives (french version only), you will find : 

• places around you where you can get food and equipment at low price for students: in particular, solidarity distributions of equipment and hygiene products, free flea markets and object exchanges in the "s'équiper" category,
• contacts of associations to share and promote student solidarity and help/be helped.

You can also register a solidarity initiative in the directory (french version only): this collaborative tool is developed by Lyon Métropole in partnership with several associations (Vrac, BelleBouffe, Gaelis, Refedd, la Distrib des gros Colis...), in order to list all local solidarity initiatives by and for students.

Here are a few addresses in metropolitan Lyon:

• Solidarity-based resources at the "association Solidarité Afrique" in Lyon 3

• The recyclerie de Rillieux-la-Pape (french version only)

• Emmaüs Lyon (french version only) with 3 sites in metropolitan Lyon: Vénissieux, Lyon 7 and Villeurbanne

• The "bric à brac" du Foyer Notre-Dame des sans-abris (french version only), ​​​​​that are open to all. These stores sell second-hand items for solidarity-based purchasing at a good price.

• The "magasin solidaire de l’Armée du salut" (The Salvation Army solidarity store at Vaulx-en-Velin), for household equipment.

• The second-hand sales in Lyon métropole : find a list of "vide-greniers" here (french version only).

To reduce waste and consume with solidarity in mind, metropolitan Lyon counts 9 "donneries" (donation boxes) where associations recover donations from users. If you need to make room in your closet, remember to donate rather than throw away!

If you live far away and do not have a motorized means of transport, Lyon Métropole proposes ​​​​​​ "déchetteries mobiles" (mobile waste collections) near you. These mobile units are installed at a given site on the same day of each month with the same schedule.
