Recyclerie — Solidarity Sale — Le Chambon-sur-Lignon

The Salvation Army Foundation's Recycling Center in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon

In Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, an emblematic commune of Haut-Lignon known for its history of humanitarian resistance during the Second World War, the Salvation Army Foundation has established a recycling center in the Les Lebreyres craft zone since 2019. Located in a vast 1,500 m² hangar, this structure is part of a dual mission, social and environmental.

An exemplary integration workshop

The recycling center operates as an Atelier et Chantier d'Insertion (ACI - Integration Workshop), offering employment and professional support to 25 people far from the job market. These integrated employees sort, repair, clean, and resell items collected in the area. In 2023, more than 437 tons of items were processed, of which 416 were reused or recycled, thus avoiding their disposal in landfills.

A charity shop open all year round

The charity shop in ZA Les Lebreyres is open all year round to bargain hunters and individuals looking for second-hand items at affordable prices. You can find:

• Furniture: tables, chairs, wardrobes, bookshelves, sofas restored to good condition
• Clothing: all sizes, women's, men's, children's, at ridiculously low prices
• Crockery and tableware: sets, glasses, kitchen utensils
• Household appliances: small appliances checked and controlled
• Books, toys, decorative items: a quality bric-a-brac carefully sorted

Opening hours are the same all year round: Tuesday to Friday from 9 am to 11:45 am and from 2 pm to 4:45 pm, Saturday from 8:45 am to 11:45 am (until 3:15 pm in July-August for Saturdays).

Circular economy and solidarity serving the territory

The recycling center of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon is much more than a simple consignment store. It embodies the values of the solidarity economy and reuse that correspond to the identity of Haut-Lignon, a rural territory committed to ecological and social transitions. The ACI of Le Chambon is referenced on the inclusion market (lemarche.inclusion.gouv.fr), attesting to the seriousness of its professional integration approach.

Event-based charity sales

The listing historically announced special «charity sales» in June and July. At the time of our editorial verification (May 2026), no public source mentions any specific clearance sale or exceptional punctual sale scheduled for 2026: the recycling center's activity takes place during the shop's usual opening hours. If the organization schedules event-based charity sales again, the information will be relayed on the Salvation Army Foundation website and on the shop's Facebook page.
