Recycling and Waste Sorting at Club Les Ormes

Club Les Ormes provides on-site recycling and waste-sorting facilities. Guests are required to follow the detailed guidelines provided in the Club Comfort app. The hosts actively use the app for practical messages and updates, and guests are expected to read the app’s contents and notifications in a timely manner.

Why this matters: sorting helps keep the 10-hectare estate clean, reduces landfill waste, and preserves the peaceful, nature-rich setting families come to enjoy from May through September. It also gives children an easy, hands-on way to learn about caring for the environment.

Quick answers (featured-snippet friendly)

• Does Club Les Ormes have recycling facilities? Yes—recycling and waste-sorting stations are available on site.
• Where do I find the official sorting rules? In the Club Comfort app, which you’re expected to use during your stay.
• What if I’m unsure? Check the app or ask your on-site hosts, Bas and Mandy.

Step-by-Step: How to Use the Waste-Sorting Stations

Follow this simple, repeatable process to get sorting right every time.

1) Open the Club Comfort app first

• Check the waste-sorting guidelines in the app before your first disposal run.
• Review any updates or temporary instructions the hosts may post.

2) Pre-sort in your accommodation

• Keep separate bags or containers for the categories shown in the app and on station signage (for example: paper/cardboard, glass, plastics/metals, and residual waste—exact categories may vary; always follow the app).
• Rinse food residue from containers and flatten cardboard to save bin space.
• Keep soft packaging or mixed materials out of paper/cardboard unless the app indicates otherwise.

3) Take sorted bags to the station

• Read the station signage carefully and match your items to the labeled bins.
• Place materials loose if required; if bags are allowed, use them as directed.
• Do not leave items on the ground—if a bin is full, use another bin as the app directs or check for guidance in the app.

4) Handle “special” items the right way

• Do not put hazardous, sharp, or medical items into regular bins.
• If you’re unsure about batteries, electronics, or other unusual waste, consult the app or ask the hosts before disposing.

5) Make it a family habit

• Give kids simple roles: flatten boxes, check labels, or carry small items.
• Celebrate full-circle learning—sorting at the station, then spotting local wildlife and clean play areas around the park.

Practical Eco Tips for Your Stay

Small choices add up quickly, especially across a busy holiday season. Here’s how to make your eco-friendly holidays even greener at Club Les Ormes.

Reduce and reuse first

• Bring or use reusable bottles, coffee cups, and shopping totes.
• Plan meals and snacks to limit packaging; reuse containers for leftovers.
• Return glass bottles and jars to the correct stream as instructed in the app.

Laundry: wash smarter, dry naturally

• A washing machine is available in the sanitary building that serves the trekkers’ field.
• There is no tumble dryer on the premises and no nearby facilities—air-dry your laundry to save energy and keep fabrics fresh.

Save energy in your accommodation

• All accommodations include a fan in every bedroom—use fans to stay comfortable and reduce energy use.
• Courbe, Espace Plus Airco, and Maison Pigeon are equipped with air-conditioning units that can also operate as heaters—use them thoughtfully and turn them off when you head out.
• A small portable heater is available on request at no additional charge—use only when needed.

Greener ways to get around

• Choose bikes over short car trips. Cyclexplore (in Villeréal) can deliver bicycles directly to Club Les Ormes; contact them for current rental pricing.
• Explore local rides using the Fietsroutes section on the official website, where you can download GPX tracks for nearby routes in the Lot-et-Garonne and Dordogne.
• Driving an EV? The nearest supermarket offers one Type 2 charger (20 kW) and four fast chargers between 100–150 kW.

If you’re camping on the trekkers’ field

• Electricity is available at the campsite spots.
• There is no grey-water or chemical-toilet disposal—plan accordingly to protect the environment and follow the app and on-site instructions.
