LIST OF ACCEPTED/REFUSED MATERIALS AT THE ECOCENTER

New procedures at the Ecocenter

After studying the Ecocenter's attendance data, we found that some users were abusing the Ecocenter (over 20 times a year for some!). We remind you that the Ecocenter is for individuals, not contractors. The municipal councils of member municipalities have decided to introduce a fee for 11 or more visits (annually). This affects less than 2% of users.

Here's the rate in effect in 2024:

• 10 annual visits : free
• 11 to 15 visits: $10/visit
• 16 to 20 visits: $100/visit
• More than 20 visits: $200/visit

A visit management software is now installed at the ecocenter to manage entries and calculate visits for everyone. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

SUMMER Schedule (May 22nd to October 9th, 2024):
Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday
9:00am to 4:30pm

***

WINTER Schedule (October 12th to December 31st, 2024):
Saturday & Sunday

LES TRÉSORS DU DÔME

The Ecocentre resource center officially becomes a non-profit organization!

The mission of Les trésors du Dôme is to reduce our environmental footprint and provide the public with low-cost items. To do this, they collect objects that can be recycled, giving them a second life for the benefit of the community. They collaborate with other community or governmental organizations by donating objects to the underprivileged or disaster-stricken. Finally, their goal is to reinvest the revenues generated in the community through various social, economic or environmental projects.

Summer schedule

Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday

10 am to 2:30 pm

These objectives are mainly aimed at reducing the quantity of landfilled materials and increasing the recycling and recovery of recyclable materials, organic materials and construction, renovation and demolition waste.
