Rates
To ensure equitable access to the Ecocenter for all citizens, a new system for managing visits has been introduced.
Starting in 2024, a fee will be charged for the 11th annual visit. This measure, which affects less than 2% of users, is designed to limit abusive use and ensure better management of resources.
Here are the new rates:
- First 10 visits : Free
- 11 to 15 visits : $10/visit
- 16 to 20 visits : $100/visit
- More than 20 visits : $200/visit
To facilitate the management of this new system, an entry tracking software has been installed.
We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Materials Recovery
The Écocentre ressourcerie officially becomes a non-profit organization!
Les Trésors du Dôme's mission is to reduce our environmental footprint and provide the public with low-cost items. To do this, they collect reusable objects and give 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
10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
