Leaf Collection


You can bring your bags of leaves and empty them out at the bulk material site located at 300 Beaurepaire Drive, next to the fire station at the west end of the parking lot. Every year, leaves taken to this site account for two-thirds of the leaves collected in the city. These are later sent to the Saint-Michel Environment Complex for recycling and composting.

Diseased leaves can be also dropped at the public works leaf depot.

Branch Collection

Every year there are three branch collection periods, one in the spring and another in autumn. The period for spring pick-up starts at the beginning of April until the end of June. The pick-up in autumn starts at the end of August until mid-November.

2010 Spring Pick-up

Public Works crews will start free branch pick-up and chipping on
April 12. There will be three collections in each sector, however certain rules apply:

• Branches will have to be out by the side of the road no later than the first day of the collection (before 8:00 a.m.) , according to the dates listed below.
• Your branches should be piled up by the side of the road, perpendicular to your property, trunck towards the road. The diameter of the branches should not exceed 15 cm ( 6 inches) and the height no more than 1,22 m (4 feet);
• During these free branch pick-ups we do not collect roots, stumps or logs; you can dispose of them by bringing them yourself to the municipal drop-off or you may request a special pick-up from our service (minimum fee of $60).
• Once a collection has taken place in a sector, branches put out too late will not be picked up until the next collection, unless you pay a minimum of $60 for a special pick-up.
• Under no circumstances should branches be left in the City's green spaces.

PLACE YOUR BRANCHES BY THE ROADSIDE NO LATER THAN:

NORTH OF HIGHWAY 20

Please note that small branches (less than 8 cm in diameter) can be put out of the regular garbage pick-up on Thursdays if they are tied up in bundles that have a maximum length of 1 to 1,2 meters (3 or 4 feet) and do not weight more than 10 to 12 kg (20 to 30 lbs).

Special pick-up

If you need to get rid of articles or materials that are not accepted in regular garbage collection or if you have missed the free branch collection service, you can request a special pick-up at the Public Works department at 514 428-4500.

An inspector will give you a cost estimate for the pick-up service. The rate is a minimum of $95 per pick-up. If you are not home for estimation, the inspector will leave a copy of the cost estimate inside your mailbox. Before proceeding with the pick-up, you are required to make the payment at City Hall.

Recycling Metal

Household appliances or metal items (cast iron, iron, copper, etc.), are collected by an independent contractor once a week on Fridays.

This service is free. Residents must however notify the Public Works department at 428-4500 about items they want to recycle and the date the item will be placed in front of their house.
