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.
