Recyclables

NEW COLLECTION DAY

Note that the collection of recyclable materials takes place every Thursday for the entire territory since April 2024.

For the collection of recyclable materials, all recyclable items must be placed in the City's blue rolling bin. It is the sorting center that proceeds with the separation of materials.

Is it a container, packaging, or a printed item? To know what goes in the bin, it's not complicated. Just ask yourself this question.

Bins for Collection

For this collection, only the blue bin provided by the City can be used. The City offers two bin sizes to meet your needs. Note that a maximum weight is recommended by the manufacturer so that employees can move the bin to empty its contents into the truck.

Obtaining a Second Bin or a Different Size

At any time, you can obtain a bin of a different size or request a second one. To submit a request, visit the Online Requests page.

Damaged Bins

Is your bin damaged? You can request its repair or replacement. Visit the Online Requests page to fill out the form.

To make your request, have:

• A photo of the damaged bin
• The serial number written on the side of the bin
• Your contact information
