Ville de Laval organized a special manual waste collection at around 100 collection points in order to support adaptation to new practices.
This is in addition to the collections already scheduled normally. Thus, a large collection was carried out in the last days to ensure that targeted places in the city are free from the accumulation of abandoned residual materials.
This intervention was necessary to maintain the cleanliness of the streets and the quality of the citizens’ living environment.
In addition, several awareness officers who have crisscrossed the territory since last April will continue their work during the next collections in order to better support citizens in sorting residual materials and to explain the recovery solutions available in order to maximize the use of collection bins.
It should be noted that this very targeted operation, which concerns around a hundred collection points, consisted in the collection of tillers of waste abandoned on vacant lots at the end of dead end streets or left on the edge of the street, but also not in conformity with the regulations. usual collection services.
Every action counts!
In a context of labor shortages in the trucking and recyclable materials industry, the management of collections brings up specific issues for which the City must remain vigilant and show constant agility in order to ensure sanitation. of the territory. Last April, nearly 123,000 black bins serving 130,000 doors were distributed across the region. This operation for the citizens living in buildings of 7 units or less has completed the automated collection service 3-way ( brown bin , blue bin , black bin ). However, the new habits required by 3-way collection still require adjustments from citizens. It is also important to emphasize that in addition to the three-way collection, other recovery and recovery solutions are possible. In March of this year, the City adopted its Laval Residual Materials Management Strategy 2020-2025 with a desire to put in place the right conditions in order to move towards “zero waste” by 2035.
