Ecocentres
Would you like to give a second life to items that are still usable? Do you need to get rid of construction materials or products that are hazardous to people’s health or the environment? Ecocentres can take them.
Ecocentres are sites where unwanted items can be recovered and reused. They are located throughout Montréal.
