Residual materials collection: new in 2024
Modernizing your residual materials collections!
From now on, your bins will be emptied by a truck with a robotic arm.
To enable the robotic arm to properly empty your bins, make sure that:
Ville de Gatineau wheeled bins (brown, blue and gray bins)
80 to 360 litre European model wheeled bins identified by a “V” (for “vert”) for yard waste (any colour other than blue)
Ville de Gatineau labels for overflow garbage bags
These bags must be placed next to the street along with the gray bin, to be collected the day after the general collection day by another truck.
Trash cans
Bagged leaves
American model wheeled bins
Boxes
Branches and other excess trash next to the bins
Recycling bags
Bulky items will now be collected by appointment only. It will be possible to have them collected more often throughout the year!

The first collections will take place in October 2024 (dates to be confirmed).

There will be two special collections every year for occasional recyclable surpluses:
