If your fridge or freezer is more than 10
years old, please consult the Recyc-Frigo
website for pickup.
Recycling
Pickup schedule:
Recycling is picked up every Wednesday. There is no set time for pickup during
the day but the bins should be by the street as early as 7:00 am.
What can be picked up:
The recycling truck will only pickup recyclable contents in the new larger (360
litre) bins. They will not pick up recycled materials in the old smaller square
bins or placed outside of the new bins. The new bins have ample space to accomodate
more than a weeks worth of recycled material.
Where to place the bins:
The bins should be placed a maximum of 2 meters or less from the paved surface
of the street and positioned with the recycling logo facing the street (wheels
facing towards the house). Putting the bins too far on the street can make snow
clearing difficult or could even create a dangerous situation with car traffic.
Placing the bins too far away from the street can make it difficult for the recycling
truck owner to collect.
Broken or additional bins:
If your bin is broken, you require a second bin or need more information, please
call Paul Boudreau (Assistant Director, Technical Services) at 450-458-0222 (extension
205).
You can also email him using the contact form.
Garbage
Pickup schedule:
Schedule for garbage pick-up
What can be picked up:
Standard household waste can be picked up. For items like batteries, tires and
oils, most automobile service stations can accept these and send them off for
proper reprocessing. For paints and hazardous chemicals, the Town of Hudson will
advertise a time for a special collection of these materials (normally at the
municipal garage). Disposable batteries can be dropped off at the Hudson Hardware.
Fridges and Freezers
Functional - If you wish to dispose of your fridge or freezer
and it is still functional, go to Recyc-Frigo.
This Hydro Quebec program offers to pickup and pay $60 for fridges and freezers
over 10 years old.
Non-Functional - Fridges and freezers that are not in working
condition will be picked up on the street during regular trash collection days.
You must contact Town Hall at 450-458-5347 before depositing these appliances
at the street for collection.
Where to place the refuse:
Garbage should be in air tight containers, approximately 2 meters or less from
the paved surface of the street.
Weight limit:
The weight limit set by the Health and Safety Commission is 50 pounds (22.67 kilograms).
Proper
recycling and garbage disposal is in everyone's best interest. The less we send
to landfills the better.
