The labels identifying theeligible bagsfor surplus garbage are distributed individually, at a price of $3.00 each. The labels are yellow or pink and feature the City of Gatineau logo. The yellow and pink labels are valid at all times.
Delivery costs
Shipping costs are the customer's responsibility and vary depending on the number of labels purchased during the transaction. Fees are displayed during checkout.
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 encloses the bag, and stick the label back on itself;
Place your labeled bag next to your gray bin, at a distance of 60 cm, in preparation for collection. Make sure the bag is not in front of the gray bin to avoid obstructing the robotic collection of your bin;
Surplus bags will be collected at the same time as your gray bin.
