Bulk Waste Collection

Bulk waste is defined as non-industrial waste that, because of its size, volume or weight, cannot be accepted in regular household or residual waste collections. In Senneville, four collections are scheduled per year.

Are your bulky items reusable?

When you wish to eliminate bulk items that can be reused, consider the following ” payback” option by contacting an organization that helps people in need by supplying used goods at a reduced price. When you wish to get rid of bulky items that are still reusable, consider “passing them on” by contacting an organization that helps people in need. Items that cannot be reused or recycled should be sent for disposal.
