The City of Pointe-Claire is proud to announce that it was the recipient of the 2022 Leader in Durability award for successfully recycling 4,071 kilograms of batteries last year. It is thanks to the involvement of citizens in the management of residual materials that we are able to safely dispose of batteries and lower our ecological footprint. We thank the citizens for their efforts and invite them to continue to do so.
