Household Waste Management

The detailed household waste collection schedule, including garbage, recycling, compost and bulky items, can be found in the collection calendar mailed to all our citizens each year. It can also be accessed from the home page of our website.

Collection begins at 6 a.m.

• Wheeled bins must be taken out no earlier than 5 p.m. the previous day.
• The bin must be placed within the property limits and at the entrance of your driveway, with the wheels and handle facing the house.
• When the bin is emptied, it must be removed and placed more than three metres from the road right-of-way.

For a number of reasons, there may occasionally be slight delays in the household waste collection schedule. If your garbage, recycling or compost has not been picked up, please leave your bin at the curb and wait 24 hours before contacting us at 450-243-6111 or by email at reception@lacbrome.ca.

The bins belong to the citizens. If the carrier is negligent and causes damage to a bin, citizens can write to notify us. The carrier is then responsible for replacing the broken bin. If the damage is not caused by the carrier, citizens are responsible for replacing their bin

Glass containers and bottles can be deposited in a specially designed container located in the parking lot of the IGA grocery store (461 Knowlton Road).

Here's a list of the types of glass accepted:

• Wine bottles

Citizens are strongly encouraged to bring their glass items to the container; however, it is ALWAYS possible to put them in the blue bin.
