Pickups Schedule

Can I put out excess waste materials for pickup in the bulky waste collection?

No, because the bulky waste collection is only for large items that can't be recycled and that don't fit into the household waste bin, such as mattresses, chairs, etc.

Why wasn’t my wheeled bin emptied?

The waste collector doesn't pick up a wheeled bin that weighs more than 100 kg. In addition, the wheeled bin must be placed at the curb before 7 a.m. on the day of the collection. Don't rely on the time of day that the collection truck usually passes by; its route may be changed at any time. It is preferable to put the bin at the curb on the evening before, any time after 6 p.m.

I missed the household waste pickup; can the truck come by again?

Unfortunately, this can't be done, because the truck has to follow a specific route every day (Tuesday to Friday) and can't return to the homes of residents who forgot to put their bins at the curb.

What are my options if I forget to put my bin at the curb?

We strongly encourage you to sort your waste materials better, starting now. To help you, go online to www.vieecolo.com/en/. Tip: If you often forget to take out your bin for the collection, set an alarm on your smartphone.

I have young children at home and many diapers to dispose of. How do we do it?

First of all, the Town wishes to inform you that it is offering families the opportunity to receive financial assistance of up to $150 per eligible child for the purchase of a set of cloth (washable and reusable) baby diapers. More information on this financial assistance may be found on our website. We also encourage you to sort your waste materials better, starting now. To help you, go online to www.vieecolo.com/en/. Give priority to waste materials that can produce odours (for example, diapers, cat litter) and put those in the bin first and foremost, then set aside waste materials that take up a lot of space (for example, Styrofoam from the new television). Put them in the bin just before the collection when there is still space in the bin.

Why reduce the frequency of organic/green waste pickup during winter season?

After analyzing the situation, the Town found that during the winter months, as there is no green waste, the brown bins are less full, so it makes sense to reduce the collections during this time of year. Fruit and vegetable waste can still be placed in a household composter in the winter, by keeping it close to your house.
