Collection of waste and organic and recyclable materials - Delays to be expected
This notice remains in effect until further notice.
Waste reduction
In the interest of sustainable development, the City of Dollard-des-Ormeaux aims to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. This is why we encourage our residents to sort recyclable and compostable materials, and to consider reducing waste at the source by avoiding single-use plastics and excessive packaging.
