Montreal' s ecocentres are a great way for residents to contribute to reusing, recovering and recycling waste materials. This is where you can take all those items that you can’t put out for regular garbage pick-up. By encouraging sorting at the source, ecocentres make it possible to reuse or recover recyclables and go a long way toward reducing the amount of waste that ends up in the dump. 1, record 1, English, - ecocentre

L'écocentre est un site de réemploi, de récupération et de valorisation de matières résiduelles mis à la disposition de l'ensemble des citoyens de l'agglomération de Montréal. On y reçoit des matières qui ne sont pas acceptées dans la collecte régulière des ordures ménagères telles que : vêtements, électroménagers, encombrants, matériaux de construction ou de démolition, pneus usés, résidus domestiques dangereux (RDD), bois, terre, etc. En favorisant le tri à la source des matières, l'écocentre permet de réemployer ou récupérer des matières recyclables et contribue ainsi à la réduction de la masse des déchets. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cocentre
