Today marked the official inauguration of the Town of Rosemère’s entirely updated and renovated ecocentre, on its original site behind the Public Works Department.

In fact, the ecocentre resumed its regular activities the first week of January. It may be recalled that, in the fall of 2014, the Municipal Council had given the green light to redevelopment and optimization work at the ecocentre.

Started on October 6, 2014, this major project sought to improve the site’s accessibility an safety while fostering greater peace and quiet in the neighbouring area. As a result of this work, end-users can now drop materials directly into containers thanks to raised approaches. This will facilitate handling and significantly cut down on the loud comings and goings of heavy equipment.

Rosemère’s Council also made the most of this project to adopt a by-law updating the policy for the use of the ecocentre, particularly as it relates to materials accepted or refused, as well as access.

Consequently, access is now reserved exclusively to Rosemerites, free of charge. Tipping trailers are prohibited. Users will therefore need to present a photo ID as well as proof of residency with address. 

Company trucks will not entitled to use the ecocentre’s services except in the case where eligible citizens wish to dispose of construction, renovation or demolition materials from their personal residence. In instances such as these, they will be required to present the construction or renovation permit issued by the Town.
