Residual materials collections: important changes to come in February 2025

At its meeting of July 4, 2023, the municipal Council adopted a resolution to join the regroupement intermunicipal pour la gestion des matières résiduelles, along with the municipalities of La Pêche, Cantley and Val-des-Monts. This decision is part of a collective effort to modernize selective collection systems, in line with the new requirements introduced by the Quebec government in 2023. The aim is to optimize the management of residual materials on the territory.

What to expect?

As of February 4, 2025, compost, recycling and garbage bins will be collected by a truck equipped with a mechanized arm. This change will entail adjustments for residents, who will have to respect certain directives and modify their habits. Here are the main changes:

• Collection days will be from Tuesday to Friday, in sectors predetermined by the contractor;
• Bins will have to be placed according to specific instructions to ensure collection;
• Excess waste or recycling deposited next to the bins will not be collected.

Bulky and bulky metal collections

Changes will also be made to the bulky and bulky metal collections, although details have yet to be confirmed. Details will be announced in the coming weeks. Stay informed by visiting our platforms!

How to prepare for these changes?

To help you, the Municipality will continue to communicate on its platforms over the coming weeks, until the automated collection is in place. You'll find information:

• On the residual materials Web page
• Via PiVOT collection alerts and reminders
• In the municipal newsletter sent by e-mail
• On our social media
• In the 2025 municipal calendar
• In the 2025 collection schedule.

We strongly recommend that residents register now for the PiVOT citizen portal. The platform allows you to receive reminders and alerts directly to your phone regarding the collections.
