Your household waste should not contain recyclables (paper, cardboard, glass, metal and some types of plastic), which should be placed in your recycling bin, nor should it contain food waste if a compost collection is offered in your area. 

For bulky objects, construction debris and green waste, there are special collections offered on a regular basis as well as door-to-door collections.

For hazardous household waste (toxic products, oil, etc…) and other materials that are not included in door-to-door collections, please refer to the services offered at Montréal’s seven ecocentres and travelling collections.

When you check whether an item should be thrown in the trash, you are helping to take care of the environment.
