Preparation for household waste collection

• Place your excess garbage in any plastic bag:
• Maximum 26 in. x 36 in. (66 cm x 91.4 cm);
• With a maximum capacity of 80 L;
• With a maximum weight of 15 kg.
• Close your bag with a knot or drawstring at the top of the bag;
• Place the label around the top of the bag, so that it surrounds the bag, and stick the label back on itself;
• Place your bag with a label next to your grey bin, in preparation for collection. Make sure that the bag is not in front of the grey bin so as not to obstruct the robotic collection of the grey bin;
• Starting November 25, 2024, surplus bags will be collected at the same time as your gray bin.
