Despite the constant efforts of our contractor, the collection of household hazardous waste is still ongoing. We anticipate that the streets that have not yet been serviced will be in the next few weeks. Unfortunately, it is difficult to give a precise estimate.
If your materials have not been collected by the end of the day on Friday, please pick them up and put them back on the road on Monday morning.
What explains this delay?
The collection of HHW is a very complex collection because of the dangerous nature of the materials collected. Indeed, the collection must be carried out by employees with specific training. They must be equipped with personal protective equipment and must take the necessary time to ensure that the collected products are in good condition, in their original container, clearly identified and that they do not present any danger of leakage. Employees must also keep a record of all products collected.
Again this year, the collection is very popular. For this reason, the truck has to go to the transfer center several times to be emptied.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
