Montreal’s move to biweekly trash pick up proving to be a slow process

  • Earlier this month, Montreal launched biweekly trash pickup in three boroughs as part of its zero waste plan to reduce waste by 2030.
  • Montreal’s zero waste plan, overseen by Marie-André Mauger, aims to reduce waste through composting, recycling, and banning single-use plastics, prompting the biweekly pickup rollout.
  • Survey shows 54% oppose biweekly pickup, only 41% use organic bins, with complaints of stench in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.
  • Montreal’s slow rollout of biweekly trash pickup has led to sidewalk pileups and public frustration, with Ligue 33 criticizing the lack of improvements, despite officials' assurances.
  • Montreal aims to expand biweekly trash pickup citywide by 2029 and reach full composting coverage by 2025, as part of its zero waste strategy overseen by Marie-André Mauger.
