Collection of materials

The town is divided into 2 collection areas (east and west) for household waste collection, each of which is serviced every 2 weeks, every other Thursday. Waste must be placed in the green bin provided by the Town of Hudson. Only this bin will be emptied. All other bins or bags will not be collected.

Consult the 2024 Collections Calendar

Instructions on the use of wheeled bins

The vehicles used for garbage and recycling collection are equipped with a mechanical arm to lift the 240 and 360L wheeled bins. Food waste collection is done manually. For your bins to be emptied, it is important to follow the instructions below. Failure to do so may result in your bin not being picked up and may, in some circumstances, lead to a fine.

The wheeled bins are the property of the Town: blue for recycling, green for garbage and brown for compost. Each bin has a serial number associated with an address. The bins must not be interchanged with those of your neighbours. We recommend that you put your address in the space provided on the bin.

Placement of the bins for collection
The placement of the bins must not prevent snow removal or street cleaning.

In winter, because of the snow removal, the bins must be placed in the driveway entrance. Place your bin 1 meter from the street (not in the street or on the sidewalk), wheels facing your home. If you have multiple collections on the same day, place your bins a minimum of 30 cm apart from each other, and a minimum of 1 metre away from any objects, trees, cars, etc., in order to allow room for the mechanical arm to access your bin.

When to put out your bins
Place your bin at the end of your driveway in the evening before the collection, as the trucks do not always pass at the same time so pickup may be very early in the morning. Be sure to store your bins by 8 pm on the day of collection.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning of the bins is strongly suggested, especially before repairs or replacement of a bin.

Food waste collection takes place every week on Wednesdays. Bins should be placed on your private property a maximum of one metre from the curb.

Face the wheels towards your residence so the lid opens to the street. Ensure the bin is free of other objects within a perimeter of 60 cm.

Special cardboard collection:

The Vaudreuil-Soulanges MRC organizes two special cardboard box collections annually. In 2024, these collections will take place on January 9^th and July 2^nd.
To participate: disassemble your boxes and insert them into a single box or stack and secure them with string or transparent tape. Place the boxes next to your blue bin. To facilitate collection, the maximum size of dismantled boxes should be 1m².

Materials accepted in the recycling collection include:

• Did you know that bulk items go straight to the landfill? Only use this collection as a last resort!
• Give your items a second life by sending them to one of the REGION’S RECYCLERS or one of the two local ECOCENTRES :

Vaudreuil Eco-Centre 2800, Henry Ford, Vaudreuil 450-455-5434
Rigaud Eco-Centre 32, rue de la Coopérative, Rigaud 450-451-0869

The bulk waste collection is on the third Friday of the month, by registration only. Register your bulk waste by sending an online SERVICE REQUEST before 4 p.m. the Tuesday before the 3rd Friday of each month.

Material accepted in the bulk item collection: wood furniture, mattresses, couches, water heaters, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers and barbecues without propane tanks.

2024 Bulk item collection dates:

There will be no bulk pickup from December 2024 to March 2025. Items can instead be disposed of at one of the MRC’s Écocentres during this time. The service is free of charge with proof of residency. Some non-profit organizations will also accept household items that are in good condition, as well as some broken electrical appliances.

Green practices to adopt

Grasscycling and leafcycling involve leaving grass clippings on the lawn after mowing and shredding dead leaves instead of collecting them in the fall. In addition to requiring less effort, these methods provide a natural fertilizer to enrich your lawn or spaces.

Home Composting: Properly processing green waste helps reduce the negative impacts associated with landfilling and creates quality compost.
