Ecocentres and Reuse

Instead of simply throwing away old objects you no longer use, we invite you to help preserve our environment by giving them to organizations that specialize in their reuse.

In Dorval, many businesses dedicate their work to the reuse of discarded objects, and residents can bring them their used objects, such as books, appliances, computers, furniture, toys, sports equipment, and so forth. In some cases, the organization can even, on call, provide a pickup service.

The following is a list of organizations in Dorval dedicated to the reuse of discarded objects. Before dropping an item off, please verify with them that your object will be accepted.

1. Salvation Army - 514 935-7425
   • Donation bin at the Sarto-Desnoyers Community Centre (1335 Lakeshore Drive)
   • Donation bin at the Pierre-Elliott Trudeau airport (710 chemin de la Côte-Vertu)
      
2. Big Brothers and Big Sisters Association - 514 845-7920, ext. 222

Ecocentres

The City of Dorval does not have an ecocentre on its territory, but invites its citizens to drop by other ecocentres in the surrounding cities/boroughs.

Ecocentres are sorting centres for Montreal Island residents, where they can drop off items for recovery, items that are excluded from the household waste pickup, such as:

• Appliances
• Large objects
• Recyclable materials (paper, carton, glass, plastic, metal)
• Construction, renovation, and demolition waste
• Household hazardous waste

These items are, however, collected by the City of Dorval otherwise than with the household waste pickup. To learn how to get rid of them in Dorval, click here.

Ecocentres also accept items that are not accepted by the City, such as:

• Clothing items in good condition
• Old tires

Reuse, recycling, composting and other appropriate forms of recovery make it possible to considerably reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
