Garbage collection

For household waste collection, the town is divided into 2 collection areas (east and west), 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 2023 May – December 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

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 that the lid opens to the street. Make sure the bin is free of other objects within a perimeter of 60 cm.

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.
