Rules for Bringing Waste to a Collection Day

wait time may be from 5 to 15 minutes
  • Bring your waste in their original containers whenever possible.
  • Do not mix different products.
  • Put your waste into cardboard boxes, then in your trunk.
  • Stay in your vehicle; we will handle everything for you.
  • No smoking in your car - wastes are flammable.
  • Bring something to read. The wait is at most times 5-15 minutes but can be up to 30 minutes.
  • If possible, leave children and animals at home.
  • Also REMEMBER:
    Keep your children and pets away from where hazardous products are used or stored. Store away from heat, use products according to their directions, and buy only what you need (and save money too).
