Household Collections and Residual Materials

Ecocentres are the training ground for responsible waste management — the place where tricky items get recovered, reused, or recycled instead of ending up in the landfill. Construction materials, tires, furniture, electronics, bulky items, hazardous household waste can be brought year-round to an Agglomeration of Montréal ecocentres or, to ecocentre collections organized by the City of Pointe-Claire.

Local Ecocentres in Pointe-Claire

The 2026 ecocentre collection in Pointe-Claire will take place on the following Saturdays: May 9, July 11, September 12 and October 17.
