HOW TO PLAN YOUR VISIT

Please plan your unloading in order to respect the closing hours. The Régie recalls that the eco-centers operate on a self-service basis;

Citizens must be able to dispose of heavy objects independently. Also, sorting materials by category before arriving at the ecocentre speeds up the service;

Please be courteous to the employees and other users of the ecocentres during your visit.

We thank you for your collaboration.
