Sorting of recyclable waste no longer required for buildings of eight units and less

This was announced by municipal councillor and president of the Environment Commission, Ginette Marotte during the Borough Council meeting on December 4th. This announcement was the result of the Council's acceptance to extend the contract of the company, Les Fibres J.C. New provisions in the contract will allow the pell-mell collection of recyclable waste from buildings with eight units and less.

“We are convinced that the implementation of the pell-mell collection will substantially increase the rate of recycling among homes and buildings of eight units and less”, said Mrs. Marotte. “Moreover, this method will significantly simplify the life of residents who, until now, did not recycle because they did not have time nor were they in the mood to sort their recyclable waste”, she added.

Until a new order is released, residents living in buildings of nine units and more must continue to separate their recyclable waste and to deposit them in two wheeled containers provided for this purpose: one for fibres (paper and paperboard) and the other for containers (glass, plastic, metal, milk cartons and juice cartons). As soon as the Borough is able to implement the pell-mell collection of recyclable waste from buildings of nine units and more, residents will be informed.
