Good Friday
On Good Friday (Friday, April 3), the environmental streets will be open and the door-to-door waste collection will proceed as usual!
Neighbourhood containers full?
During the holidays, neighbourhood containers often fill up sooner, so they will be emptied more frequently during this period. If a container is full, please do not place waste next to it. Return later or check if there is space in a container nearby. Together, we can keep the area clean!
