Your efforts and participation

have an impact on your taxes!

2010: $ 300 / door

2019: $ 230 to $ 250 / door

Did you

KNOW? ?

Since 2009, the management of residual material is a priority on the territory

We created 18 730 tons of materials in 2018. It’s 4% more than 2016.

What were the defined objectives?

The materials generated on our territory are directed to 4 sectors: Composting, recycling, eco-centers and landfilling.In 2018, we were still sending 46% of our materials to landfill, but only 22% of them were real trash.

Bury less than 550 kg of waste/inhabitant

Recover at least 70% of recyclable materials

Reduce the quantity of buried CRD residues by 35%

COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATIONCollection Schedule

Every two weeks, all year

Summer: Each weekAutumn: Every two weeksWinter: every three weeks

Chips are used to: • Indicate us at what point of its round the truck is at • Calculate the participation rate to the right collections • Identify the areas where to promote awareness

You do not want the snowplow to overthrow your bin? Follow this advice!

Bin placed the day before collection

Wheels facing the house

No material placed beside or going

above the bin

Bin placed 2 feet away any object

Bin on my property, at 10 feet

of the white line / not on the sidewalk

nor the street

WEATHER ALERTPlease note that

in the event of a majorsnowstorm, the collection

could be movedto the next day.

What is the purpose of chips on my bins?

In Rocher-Percé RMC, the blue

bin participation is 85% and up

to 59% for the brown bin. We

could anticipate savings

approximately $ 200,000 just

by increasing composting up

to 80%

How to place my bin down the road? What to do if my bin is broken or if it has not been picked up?

Where can I get a new bin?

In a hardware store for the recycling and waste bins. For the brown bins, please call us!

You can use a big yard waste paper bag to avoid the materials sticking to your brown bin.

See the month of August for more details on the recycling of glass

What is the purpose of the blue bin?

The blue bin was set up to recycle CONTAINERS, PACKAGING, PRINTS from our consumer goods if they are made of PAPER, CARDBOARD, PLASTICS, GLASS and METAL.

So, I cannot put a plastic toy or a shirt inthe blue bin because these are not containers, packaging or prints?

That’s right! What does NOT go into the blue bin? How can I recognize

flexible plastics?

How can I know what to do with a material that is not mentioned here?

If it elongates, it is recyclable!

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)

What do they have in common? How should I dispose of them?

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) can contaminate the environment or cause health problems if they are not properly managed. They also have a great recovery potential, that needs to be increased.

Preferred Choice: The Eco-Center

WEEE: Bulky waste collection

COMPOSTING – At Home

What goes into the brown bin?

How to avoid maggots and flies?

Prevent flies from laying eggs on meat and fish by wrapping them in newspaper. This is called the “papillote” trick! You can also keep them in the freezer until the day of collection.

Organic materials! Everything that comes from living organisms such as plants and animals.

• Leftovers• Coffee and tea

(grounds, filters and bags)

Soiled papers and cardboard

(put in the recycling if clean!)Animal litter

(including excrement)Sand and earth

• Branches (Max. 1 inch in diameter)• Leaves, grass, hay, etc.

How to proceed at home?Accepted and Rejected Materials in the Brown Bin

FOOD GREEN RESIDUES OTHERS

Transfer the content of your counter bin in your brown bin, alternating with dry materials

Have your counter bin within reach and double it with some newspaper or a paper bag

Follow the instructions on page 4 (month of February)

over the bottom of the bin with dry materials and use a “yard waste paper bag” + avoid putting liquids in the mix!

In the summer, put it down the road EVERY week to avoid smelling and maggot problems!In the winter, only put it down the road when needed

Since 2012, nearly 7,500 tons

of organic waste have been

composted by the citizens

of the MRC, representing a

saving of approximately

$ 600,000.

Put in the recycling if clean!

See page 26 for a complete list

So, what DOES NOT GO into the brown bin?

No glass, no plastic, no metal! But also...

How to prevent materials from freezing and sticking at the bottom of the bin during winter?

COMPOSTING SITE

Organic materials are discharged on a platform and employees remove the contaminants, plastic, glass, metal, etc.

Materials are crushed and wood chips are added.

We mix everything to integrate oxygen and foster the work of microorganisms (bacteria, mushrooms, etc.).

We let the piles of compost mature for 4 to 6 months. The temperature can reach 75°C!

We sieve the mature compost to remove impurities and then we send samples for laboratory analysis to ensure its quality.

The compost is sold in bulk at the composting site of Chandler or in bags in hardware stores on the territory.

Their real decomposition time is too long;

They prevent food from mixing to dry materials, which

is essential for composting;

They will need to be open during manual sorting;

All of the above.

The composting site sells

approximately 450 m3 of

compost per year to individuals

and municipalities. Come see us!

Once my brown bin is emptied, where are the materials going?

What are the steps of the composting process?

DD All of the above

Instead choose

This is why it is safe to put tissues and litter in the brown bin!

Why cannot I get free compost? I have worked for this...

Sale of compost allows to recover taxes and thus lower the operating costs of the site

In the world, 137,000 cigarette butts are thrown away every second!

A cigarette butt thrown to the ground corresponds to... • 4,000 chemicals released to the environment • 500 liters of polluted water

27 x =

Disposing of organic materials in the brown bin is… • Supporting five jobs at the composting site of Chandler. • Giving a second life to the materials by generating great quality compost.

Disposing of recyclable materials in the blue bin is… • Supporting sixteen jobs at the recycling center of Grande-Rivière. • Giving a second life to the materials by producing new recycled products.

Benefits for the Region

YOU can make a difference by disposing of your materials at the right places

Plastic is often found in the ocean where it breaks into small particles that can then be swallowed by fishes and finish in our plates! Moreover, sea currents form what we can call “plastic continents”

And what if we had recycled them...

Per year, nearly 500 tons of glass are process and

reuse locally.

LANDFILLINGWhat is an engineered landfill?

An engineered landfill is a series of sealed cells that we fill with our waste. Once the capacity is reached, we permanently close these cells with an airtight “hat.”

• Waste Water (leachates): Waste water are treated and then tests are performed (26 parameters imposed by the ministry) before being discharged into the river

• Biogas (methane [CH4] and carbon dioxide [CO2]): Gas generated at the time of the decomposition of the buried materials are flared. This way, we greatly reduce their impact on climate changes.

Numbers

that count

Throughout the Years...

Since 2014, there has been a notable decrease of buried materials coming from the residential sector thanks, notably, to the participation to composting and Eco-Centers.

A characterization study done in 2015 has shown that only 22% of buried materials coming from the Rocher-Percé RCM are real waste. The vast majority of what is buried should have rather been disposed in the brown bin, the blue bin or at the Eco-Center.

What do we bury?

Do not forget your good habits during the holidays...

• Paper wrappings are recyclable, but not those in plastic.

• Natural Christmas trees support local businesses and can be recovered at the Eco-Center!

• Leftovers from the holiday feast can also be composted!

ReminderReminder

Landfilling costs up to twice

more than composting and

recycling. It pays to sort!

What is a « real trash ?»

It is a material that cannot be recycled, composted or recovered at the Eco-Center. The more we reduce landfilling, the more we reduce costs.

Did you

KNOW? Since 2017, the biogas treatment

has prevented nearly 20,000 tons

of CO2 equivalent. This represents

the emissions of 5,000 cars

in a year!
