Important general guidelines for the collection of recyclable materials
- The bin must be placed at the curb, on your private property, after 8 p.m. on the day before collection or before 7 a.m. on the day of collection.
- There must be a distance of 50 cm (20 inches) between the bin and the sidewalk, and one metre between the bin and other obstacles (mailbox, fence, carport, snowplow marker, etc.).
- The wheels of the bin must face your property.
- The bin must be closed and not overloaded.
- Avoid placing objects on the cover.
- Clear the snow from the cover and position the bin so that it is visible and accessible to the operator.
- Be sure to follow the specific collection procedures for each type of collection, otherwise your materials will not be collected. Please note that surplus recycling deposited next to the blue bin is no longer accepted, with the exception of two special collections per year.
- If you forget to collect :
- Contact Services Brossard at 450 923-6311 or by e-mail at [email protected], before noon the next day to report this oversight. Requests received after this period cannot be processed.
- Once you’ve made your request, leave your residual materials at the curb (except on weekends), as a truck may come by again. The contractor will collect the waste within 48 working hours of the day of collection.
