Garbage and Residual Materials
Discover the 2025 Collection Calendar!
In 2025, a new contractor will be in charge of collections in our municipality. This change results in a change in the schedule.
Garbage
Green bins are available for $150. You can obtain them at the Municipal Office during business hours, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A home delivery service is also available.
Bulky Items
Bulky items collection takes place once a month.
However, it is important to note that the materials collected during this service are directly sent to landfill without being sorted. If your items are reusable, recyclable, or recoverable, we encourage you to drop them off at an appropriate drop-off sites.
Recycling
The blue wheeled bin for recyclables is available free of charge at the municipal office (2 bins possible per residence). A home delivery service is also available.
As of January 1, 2025, all packaging, containers and printed matter will be accepted in the recycling bin, without exception! This important change is the result of the modernization of the curbside recycling system that is being rolled out in Quebec.
Together, let’s do the right thing when sorting
Bin Impact is a new go-to reference for curbside recycling recovery in Quebec. We're here to educate people on the right way to sort materials, and to raise awareness on the impact of what we put in the bin. It’s important to promote the proper way to sort at home. It’s the first step of the curbside recycling system. By improving the content of our bins, we can generate a positive impact on the circular economy. If everyone pitches in, everyone in Quebec comes out a winner.
