Up to 50,000 tons processed every year

The site has an enormous capacity – 50,000 tons per year. The current use of brown bins is largely inferior to the quantities that the CTMO can process for optimal operations.

If you wish to do your part, but do not have a brown bin, you can request one.

Quality material used locally

The material produced is BNQ 0413-200 certified and is unrestricted. Compost is rich in nutrients and improves soil quality and fertility. It may be used for agriculture or tree plantation. In Montréal, you can also use it in your flower beds.

Boroughs regularly distribute compost, usually during the spring and fall seasons.

Educational component

The building is equipped with a glass observatory, complete with a digital immersive experience for visitors to enjoy. The centre also has an education room, where visitors can learn about waste materials. It will be open to the public as of 2025.

A work of public art integrated in the treatment centre for organic waste

The compost centre is integrating “Passages exothermiques”, a work of art combining sculpture and digital art created by Montréal artists hilippe Allard and Alexandre Burton. An exothermic phenomenon is characterized by the release of heat.
