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

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.

Exemples:

    • Shampoo bottle
    • Oil bottle
    • Laundry soap container
    • Sour cream container
    • Etc.

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.

Exemples:

    • Egg carton
    • Fruit basket
    • Canned food
    • Paper bag
    • Etc.

Printed Paper

These are papers and other fibres with texts, patterns or images can sometimes be found.

Exemples:

    • Newspapers
    • Magazines
    • Lined or squared paper sheets
    • Envelopes
    • Etc.
