ECOCITIZEN’S GUIDE

You are invited to consult the Ecocitizen’s Guide by the MRC de Brome-Missisquoi.

COLLECTION OF BULKY ITEMS AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

Following a decision by the municipal council taken in 2022, the municipality stopped offering the home collection service for large waste items. To get rid of bulky items and construction, renovation and demolition materials, you can do so at the Cowansville ecocentre.

GLASS RECOVERY

There are two glass containers located in the parking lot at 15th Saint-Armand St.
