You can place your bin at the curb from 7 pm the night before each collection, and before 7 am on collection day in order to not miss the truck.

Please take your bins back to the side yard or back yard of your residence as soon as possible after each waste collection, 7 pm on the day the waste is collected at the latest.

Our Municipal bylaw states that rolling bins and domestic waste rigid bins should not be stored on the front yard. Bins must be placed in an area that is not visible from the street or hidden behind a privacy wall.

Tuesday : Recycling – Blue Bin

Thursday : Domestic Waste – Rigid Bin with a Lid

• It is MANDATORY to put all domestic waste in a rigid bin with a lid.
• On each collection day, you can put bulky items.
• We ask that you place your brown bin and your garbage bin on different sides of your driveway to facilitate the work of garbage collectors.

How to use your blue bin properly

Is your blue or brown bin cracked, the handle broken, or the lid torn off?

To streamline the bin repair process, please:

• Submit your request;
• Provide photos of the damaged bin if possible, so we can confirm the necessary repairs.

The service is provided by a third party, and Éco Entreprises Québec’s processing times are as follows:

• Éco Entreprises Québec has a maximum of 20 calendar days (not 20 business days) to complete the repair at your address;
• Rest assured that Éco Entreprises Québec is committed to processing each request as quickly as possible and meeting the scheduled deadline.

Construction Waste

Items must be placed in front of the house near the street, before making your request.

Electronic waste

Unwanted electronic devices must not be discarded in the garbage because their components are harmful to the environment. It is important to dispose of them properly.

Public Works’ team can pick up your old electronic devices for free (for residents only). The collected items will be recycled, transformed or disposed of in a safe manner.

Please note that leaf-blowing in the street is prohibited. Warnings and fines will be issued to offenders.

Green waste must be placed in the brown bin. Any extra green waste should be placed in biodegradable containers, such as paper bags and cardboard boxes, which will also be picked up (By-law 782 Art. 14d).

Compostable plastic bags certified by the Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ) are accepted.

Please note that single-family dwellings and multi-dwelling buildings of 4 units and less already benefit from organic waste collection (green waste and kitchen waste) via the brown bin program, but all residents can put their green waste in accepted containers.

Branches

Branch removal service on the territory of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue is available throughout the year (it is no longer necessary to call to register).

The City will collect your branches FREE OF CHARGE on the first and third week of each month from Monday to Wednesday.

Since the team will pass on your street only once, it is important to place your waste items at the stated time the night before (on Sunday); do not worry if your branches havel not been collected by Tuesday evening.

Branches must be neatly stacked by the side of the road, blunt ends facing the road.

Please note that branch collection includes the collection of Christmas trees, but stumps or logs exceeding 22 cm (9 inches) in diameter, roots and branches with attached soil, metal, rope, etc., are excluded because they may damage the branch chopping equipment. These items will not be collected.

Bulky Waste

Please note that we do not pick up tires or hazardous household waste. Please take these items to a retailer or the ecocentre.

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)

It is important not to dispose of your household hazardous waste (HHW) in the household waste. It can be dangerous for health and harmful for the environment. You must dispose of it properly.

Waste Reduction

What can we do?

Rethinking, reducing, reusing and recycling are easy ways to cut pollution, conserve natural resources and energy and reduce what goes into Montreal’s landfills. While some materials such as aluminum, steel, and some types of glass can be recycled indefinitely, it is important that we approach the problem from an upstream point of view by rethinking the way we consume and that we reduce what we throw into the garbage.

For more information, please read this document: "Consommer autrement" (in French only) made by the City of Montreal and Recyc-Québec.

GoRecycle 

GoRecycle is a nonprofit organization and the only one recognized by RECYC-QUÉBEC to ensure the responsible recycling of refrigeration appliances in Quebec. Thanks to a network of over 600 collection points, our activities have prevented the release of more than 481,000 tons of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere since our founding in 2021.

Starting June 9, 2025, GoRecycle will offer residents of the Island of Montreal a free curbside pickup service for their household refrigeration appliances.

This service complements the one offered at eco-centers and waste collection sites, and aims to facilitate access to responsible recycling while reducing the abandonment of polluting appliances on the street.
