Ça va où ?

Did you know ?

In addition to harming the environment, landfilling waste generates high costs for the municipality.

By using the new compost bins, each resident has the opportunity to play an active role in protecting our environment. Composting your organic materials diverts them from landfills, resulting in significant savings for the municipality and helping to keep your waste management taxes as low as possible.

Community Drop-off Sites – Helpful Tips

    • Plastic bags are strictly prohibited. They contaminate the compost and interfere with the organic waste recovery process. Please use paper bags or newspaper to wrap your food waste.
    • Avoid placing other types of waste in these containers.
    • For cleanliness and safety, always make sure to properly close the container lid after use to prevent odors and avoid attracting wild animals.

Kitchen bin – Helpful Tips

    • You can place your organic waste in a paper bag or wrap it in newspaper before placing it in your kitchen bin.
    • Empty the contents of your bin regularly at the nearest community drop-off site.
    • You can freeze your food waste until your next visit to a drop-off site to reduce odors.
    • Clean your kitchen bin regularly.
    • Always make sure to close your bin tightly.

Home Composting

Even if you compost at home, community drop-off sites remain essential. Some organic materials are not suitable for home composting and should be placed in the designated containers at drop-off sites.

Here are some examples of items accepted in municipal compost containers but not recommended for home composting:

    • Animal-based waste (dairy products, meat, fish, etc.)

    • Greasy materials (vegetable oils, mayonnaise, salad dressings, etc.)

    • Diseased plants or foliage

    • Weeds that have gone to seed

    • Animal waste (which may contain pathogens)

    • Ashes

Every Wednesday except on public holidays

Contenants

Flexible or rigid, containers can be made of paper, cardboard, glass, plastic or metal. How to spot them: recyclable containers usually have a cap or lid.

    • Sour cream container

Packaging

Like containers, packaging items are made of paper, cardboard, plastic, glass or metal. How to spot them: they’re used to easily transport a product.
