Changes to the frequency of household waste collection coming to your borough

This fall, Ahuntsic-Cartierville will be part of boroughs collecting household waste every two weeks in order to better respond to financial, operational, environmental and regulatory issues.

Progressive scheduling changes

Visit Info-Collectes for details on your collection schedule.

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.

This summer, each concerned address will receive one or several large black bins free of charge. The black bins are to be used exclusively for household waste. If you do not wish to receive one, please complete the form before July 22. For assistance with this process or for further information about this upcoming change, please contact our partner, Ville en vert, at 514-276-2176 or by e-mail at [email protected]

Consult the collection schedule 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.
