F.A.Q

I can sale all materials related to construction or renovation of a house. As well as decorative objects (e.g. lights, garden equipment) that I no longer use and that are still in good condition so that another person can benefit from them.

No glass or plastic bottles, no cardboard, no clothes, no household appliances, no leisure equipment (e.g. bicycles, toys, etc.) no vehicles spare parts.

Why? There are already solutions in Mauritius for these materials. Here are some examples to guide you:

La market place prend 25% de commission sur les ventes effectuées pour faire fonctionner le service. Le vendeur supportera la charge de la commission bancaire pour les paiements par carte s’il en est. Le transfert bancaire ou Juice est non surtaxé.

Une fois que La Déchetèque.mu reçoit le paiement de l’acheteur, que l’acheteur a récupéré son produit, que vous avez validé le pickup sur votre profil vendeur, vous recevrez alors le montant de la vente sur votre compte bancaire, moins la commission de La Déchetèque.mu. (25%)

Thanks to MIPS online payment platform, all transactions are secure.

The personal data you provide to la Déchetèque.mu are confidential. You can find all our general conditions here -> https://ladecheteque.mu/cgv/

Of course, if I change my mind, I can remove my product. I simply go to my profile and remove it. Of course only if there is no order already pending on this object.

For all online payment, you will receive the address of the seller once payment is confirmed. To come visit us, kindly make your way to Nouvelle Usine Floréal.

If you are a seller, we propose you to post a price between 50-80% of the new purchase price . La Déchetèque.mu does not impose any price range but suggests that it corresponds to the local second-hand market and that it is reasonable to attract the potential buyer.

For your product to be well presented, and inspire the potential client to buy.

The picture: this is the first thing that attracts a buyer, so it must be as clear as possible and you can add as many photos as you want to show several angles. Check the size allowed before download your photo ( 800×800)

The weight: to let the buyer know what arrangements to make when they come to pick up the material. AND because you are participating in the circular economy it is important to have data to value the amount of waste avoided.

The size: in order to tell the buyer what kind of transport he has to foresee to get the product he has ordered.

The inventory: to keep the quantity available up to date to avoid disappointment for the customer.

La Déchétèque.mu is a platform that brings together waste’s holders (e.g. professionals in the construction and real estate industries, ther industries, or individuals) and reusers.

We act within the framework of the circular economy, by becoming a buyer or seller with us, you become a responsible buyer, or consom’actor and thus avoid the production of waste on our island.
