Recycling

 

Collection schedule

Recyclable materials are collected weekly on Wednesdays throughout the year.

For the complete collection schedule, consult the calendar.

The collection takes place once weekly on MONDAYS throughout the year.

The Terra residential project (Frédéric-Back Street) is equipped with semi-buried containers (Moloks) for the collection of residues. For this reason, the collection schedule for this project differs from the collection schedule for the other sectors of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue.

Note: It is important to fold the boxes that you put in the recycling container to avoid blocking the space unnecessarily, which may not leave enough room in the container for other residents who wish to dispose of their recyclable materials.

Operation

The blue bin must be placed at the curb after 7 p.m.* the day before collection and before 7 a.m. on collection day, with the wheels facing your residence. Make sure your blue bin is visible and placed 30 cm (12 inches) from the curb or sidewalk, so as not to impede traffic or the maintenance of public roads.

*9 p.m. for residents on rue Sainte-Anne, between rue de l'Église and Montée Sainte-Marie.
