Ahuntsic-Cartierville

This measure will apply to single-family homes and buildings with 8 or fewer dwellings in the districts of Ahuntsic and Sault-au-Récollet. It comes into effect on October 1, 2026.

Each concerned address will receive one or several large dark grey bins free of charge. The bins are to be used exclusively for household waste.

Starting in August, unless you have filled out the refusal form, bins will be distributed to the addresses concerned.

Starting in October, once distribution is completed, you may request that bins be removed or added, in accordance with the criteria provided, by contacting 311.

Consult the collection schedule for the changes that will come into effect in October 2026 for the Ahuntsic and Sault-au-Récollet districts.

Improved sorting at source

Spacing out the collections encourages better sorting, as a large proportion of what currently ends up in garbage bins could be recycled, composted or reused.

Residents are therefore asked to focus their attention on the following weekly collections:

• Recyclable materials (blue or green bin)
• Food waste (brown bin)

A measure that is growing in scope

Saint-Laurent, Verdun and Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve already offer bi-weekly waste collections, and other boroughs will be following suit in the years to come.

Montréal is among the 82 municipalities in the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal that must comply with these regulations, by offering 26 household waste collections per year between now and December of 2027.
