Household Collections and Residual Materials To ensure better management of leftover materials and reduce the number of objects ending up in landfills, the City invites citizens to take advantage of the permanent collection points in its municipal facilities. You can thus dispose of small electronic items, batteries, cork items, and your polystyrene (styrofoam) items.
