Collection of bulky items

Think about giving your bulky items a new lease on life

Before disposing of your bulky items, think about recycling them. A number of associations and companies collect furniture, household appliances, computers, etc. The contact information of the associations in your area may be found in the Consommer autrement publication available on the following website:  ville.montreal.qc.ca/reemploi (in French). At the same address, you may also conduct an online search in the Répertoire des adresses du réemploi (in French).
