Types of bulky
You have used home furnishing articles you wish to get rid of but they are too large for the bins? They are probably what we call bulky items. Based on where you live, collection of those items is usually done once a month. We invite you to consult your collection calendar to know when to take your bulky items to the curb.

Some articles have to be taken to your municipal ecocentre, such as the following materials:
  • CRD Materials (Construction, Renovation, Demolition)
  • Mechanical parts
  • Tires
  • Green residues such as large tree stumps and branches

Note that you may deposit authorized materials free of charge, by presenting proof of residence (subject to the quantity of materials brought in).

You will also find below a list of bulky items generally accepted in most ecocentre.
