The Grotte du Grand Roc and the Laugerie Basse prehistoric shelters have adopted an innovative ecological initiative by becoming a “binless site”. The aim of the scheme is to encourage visitors to take responsibility for their waste management, reduce the amount of waste on the cultural site and raise public awareness of the general problem of waste production.
Visitors are encouraged to take their waste home with them or download the Bluetooth mobile app “SMD3-mon service déchets”. This application can be used to open household waste containers and pay online. It is aimed at residents of the Dordogne as well as visiting tourists.
