Ça va où ?Did you know ?
By composting, you help divert even more materials from landfills. It’s a beneficial action for the environment and our community, and it also helps keep municipal waste management costs (your taxes) under control.

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
