When and where to put garbage for the collection
Take out your bin after 7 p.m. the eve of the collection or before 7 a.m. on the same day.
Place your garbage bin
at the edge of the street, on one side of your driveway and the recycling bin on the other, in a way as not to interfere with traffic. This small attention also facilitates snow removal during the winter season. In addition, Ville de Laval does not pick up waste left all over the property.
Remove your garbage bins from the edge of the street as soon as possible, no later than 12 hours after the collection.
Type of garbage bin
Trash cans must comply with the following criteria:
- They must be tightly sealed and made of metal or plastic
- They must have external handles and a lid*
- Their maximum load capacity must not exceed 120 litres
- Their weight must not exceed 25 kg (55 lbs)
You must also avoid using small bags, such as grocery bags, which are not designed for this purpose.
If these standards are not respected, your garbage cannot be picked up.
Claim for a broken garbage bin
For any claim relating to a broken garbage bin because of snow removal operation or garbage collection, contact the Ville de Laval by dialling 311.
