At our locations

Bins

If you are a resident of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, you can come to our office to pick up a new brown bin (food waste/compost) or montréalais bin (recycling) and drop off your damaged bins if necessary. Please remember to bring a proof of address which includes your name and your current address with you (such as a driver’s licence, municipal tax statement or Hydro-Québec bill).

Make sure your damaged bins are washed well with vinegar or dish detergent before bringing them to our office. We store them in our office until they’re picked up by the borough.

Drop-off point for certain waste items

Please note that other hazardous household waste items not mentioned below (for example: paint, chemical products, car batteries, computers, televisions, etc.) should be brought to an Écocentre (for example, the Côte-des-Neiges Écocentre). Please consult the Montréal website for all of the details.

Our locations are a drop-off point for the following items (only for borough residents and in small quantities):

  • At our locations
    • used batteries (provided by Call2Recycle)
    • polystyrene (#6 plastic)
    • empty printer cartridges. Note that not all cartridges are accepted, please contact us for details (picked up by Mira)

As part of the Locomotion project, you can also participate in a workshop to build your own bike trailer.

Workshops

We offer workshops to help promote awareness on good waste management practices (recycling, composting and the food waste collection, Écocentres). Please do not hesitate to contact us if you are involved in a group (multi-unit residential building, non-profit organization, school, etc.) and would like to learn more about recycling or composting!
