Green Waste Collection
In an effort to improve the “greening” of our Town as well as to conform to standards being put in place by the province and the agglomeration, a weekly green waste collection will take place starting April 27th and continuing until the end of November. The new collection applies to all residential and institutional building types. This green waste collection will replace the Friday garbage collection that has taken place in the past. It is to be noted that the vast majority of municipalities in Canada have once a week garbage collection. On the island, Westmount, Côte Saint-Luc, Beaconsfield, Hampstead, TMR, and others have had once a week collection for a long time.
Accepted green waste includes:
- Outdoor spring cleaning debris and other landscaping work waste
- Waste from gardens and fruit trees
- Cut grass and weeds
Kitchen waste is NOT accepted in the green waste pickup.
Tree branches are not permitted in the Green Waste Pickup
Plastic Bags (Regular, Compostable or Biodegradable) are not permitted
All green waste must be placed in one of the following accepted containers:
