Bulky Refuse

Bulky refuse, which some call « monsters », are large and heavy objects that can not be put in the garbage bin (eg: appliances, furniture, hot water tanks). Before sending them to elimination, namely at the landfill site, our citizens can:

  • Check if a family member, a friend or an acquaintance wants it;
  • If it is in good condition, give it to a community organization;
  • Contact a scrap metal dealer for metal objects.

If nobody wants it, to send it to the landfill site, the service offered varies from one locality to another:
