Bulky items

From April to October, bulky items are collected door-to-door on the second Wednesday of the month, between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Dates: April 10, May 8, June 12, July 10, August 14, September 11 and October 9.

Bulky goods are non-upholstered items that are too bulky to fit in a bag, box or garbage can, except for mattresses and box springs, which are collected separately. These items are recovered and recycled. Bulky items are not accepted during the household waste collection.

Before disposing of an item that might still be useful, we invite you to post it on an exchange or resale website.

A few instructions to follow 

  • Your bulky items must be placed in your driveway, at the curb, after 6 p.m. the day before or before 7 a.m. the day of collection.
  • The weight of each item must not exceed 220 lb (100 kg), and the maximum dimensions are 1.8 m (6 ft.) by 1.2 m (4 ft.).
  • For each address or apartment building, a maximum of 10 items or the equivalent of 5 m3 is accepted per collection.
  • Sharp or dangerous materials must be secured (for example, remove nails, screws, etc.).
  • Whenever possible, items should be tied in bundles to prevent scattering and facilitate pick-up.
