Household waste is collected once a week on TUESDAYS.
 Containers
There are some inherent risks and dangers to the municipal employees in the collection of household waste. In order to minimize these risks, your cooperation is requested.
Some situations which are often the cause of injuries:
- Garbage cans too heavy (more than 25 kilos or 55 lbs)
- Non-conforming containers (45 gallon or 205 litre barrels, containers with openings that are smaller than their base, containers without handles…).
Approved Containers
a) A water-tight garbage can, made of metal or plastic, with handles, with or without a lid and with a maximum capacity of 100 litres.
b) A plastic garbage bag with a minimum thickness of 0.040 mm (1.57 ml).
- The maximum weight of an authorized container filled with solid waste must not exceed twenty five kilograms (25 kg) in cases where the garbage collection is performed manually.
- Garbage containers must be placed by the roadside
before 7:00 am Tuesday.
- Garbage must not be left on trailers or wheel barrows. It must be left directly on the ground.
- Do not put household waste in recycling bins.
Note that renovation materials, with nails removed, and of a maximum length
of 1 metre (minor projects), must be placed in containers or attached in bundles (maximum weight 25 kilos or 55 lbs).
You can also dispose of branches on regular Tuesday garbage collection, as long as they are BUNDLED and of maximum length of 1 metre and
maximum diameter of 2.5 cm.
