To make it easier for residents of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce to properly dispose of certain waste items, we have a mini sorting centre at each of our locations!
Note
Please note that this service is only for borough residents and in small quantities. 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.
Accepted items
New!
We now accept more items thanks to our new collection boxes from TerraCycle.
Sauvons le verre à CDN-NDG
Bring us your glass bottles and jars! In order to ensure they’re properly recycled, we accept glass bottles and jars at our offices as part of our Sauvons le verre à CDN-NDG glass collection program. Our partnership with a specialised glass recycling facility allows them to be effectively recycled.
Drop-off instructions: The glass must be intact (not broken), only glass containers are accepted (no light bulbs), preferably without caps and properly cleaned.
Collecting glass separately from other recyclable materials makes the recycling process more efficient by reducing the potential for contamination from broken glass.
- Office supplies, including pens, pencils (not wooden) and markers in our TerraCycle collection box. See here for exactly which items we accept.
- Water filters in our TerraCycle collection box.
- Corks, which are sent to ReCORK to be recycled. Please note that many corks are now actually synthetic, please make sure any corks you bring to our offices are made of natural cork. Synthetic, plastic-based corks can go in your recycling bin!
