Montréal écocentres: where to take what the curb won't
Enter your address to find your nearest écocentre — its seasonal hours, what it accepts, and what it costs.
Open year-round, on a summer schedule (April 15 – October 14) and a winter one.
Écocentres are where everything the curb refuses goes: mattresses and upholstered furniture, electronics, fridges and air conditioners, household hazardous waste, wood, metal, clean soil. Entry requires photo ID and proof of address — even on foot or by bike — and no appointment is needed.
To be honest about what varies: the municipal sites accept essentially the same list of materials, at the same rates, on the same seasonal schedule. What really changes from address to address is which one is nearest. The few exceptions are in the figures below. The City's own page states neither the number of sites, nor their hours, nor their addresses.
Worth knowing: as of April 2026 the City ended its travelling household-hazardous-waste collections. Hazardous waste now goes to an écocentre.
