OPERATION ADAPTED TO THE CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
To minimize the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus and to promote physical distance, the following measures are in place:
- All users must wear a mask or face covering in all of the Régie’s ecocentres (indoor and outdoor). Access to the facilities will be prohibited for anyone refusing to wear a mask;
- The number of vehicles on the sites will be limited, allow waiting times;
- On site, a minimum distance of 2 meters between people must be kept at all times;
- Children and pets must remain in the vehicle at all times;
- Ideally, only one person per vehicle, unless you need assistance to dispose of your heavy objects;
- The buildings and toilets are for the exclusive use of employees;
- 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 therefore 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.
Note: The collection of waste, recyclable and organic materials scheduled on the calendar continues as planned.
The Board is monitoring developments and inviting people to subscribe to its Facebook page and consult www.laregieverte.ca to be notified of any changes.

Chart for accepted materials in recycling bins RRGMRP
Below are the residual materials prohibited for your wheeled bin!
- Batteries, batteries or bulbs: you can recycle them through specialized channels. There are also many collection points in supermarkets.

You can also donate it to an association or drop it off at an ecocentre. Some mobile operators collect your old cell phone in store to recondition it or give it to an association.

- Motor oils and other waste oils: you can dispose of them in ecocentres.
- Tires: they must be returned to a garage or an ecocentre. Do not hesitate to call your mechanic in advance to make sure that he takes over the old tires.
