Glass bottles filled with hazardous liquids were found in the recyclable bins for the past collections in surrounding towns, which represent a significant health and safety risk for citizens and employees manipulating the recyclable materials.
The Public Works Department would like to remind you that:
HHW can also be brought to the Régie intermunicipale de gestion des matières résiduelles de Brome-Missisquoi.
Thank you for your collaboration! It makes all the difference!

Starting 1 April 2019 the Town’s public notices will no longer be published in local newspapers. This new approach is better suited to modern day realities, provides more flexibility and saves money. To help with this change we will continue to publish redirections to the Town web site up until July 1, 2019.
We encourage our citizens to sign up for the Town’s newsletter at www.sutton.ca to keep up to date with all news items including public notices. You will receive an e mail once a week which resumes all new information published on the web site of the Town including links to the web site as needed.
The Town of Sutton offers several ways for its citizens to stay informed and keep up to date with the municipality:
The Public Works Department wishes to remind you of the following information:
To ensure that your bin is collected:
• Place your bin with its wheels facing the house
• Position the bin on the roadside before 7 a.m. on the day of the pickup
• Make sure it is easily accessible and at least two feet away from any other object
Brown bins
It is very important that you put only accepted organic materials in your brown bin: This means NO plastic bags (whether regular, biodegradable, or compostable), NO recyclables and NO household waste are allowed.
For a list of what to put in your brown bin as well as the 2019 calendar for pickup, visit the Town’s Website by clicking on the following link.

PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Community Consultation: Sutton hosts a Cultural Clinic
Sutton, February 26, 2019 – Sutton is one of five Quebec towns selected by Les Arts et la Ville (a network of French-speaking cities and towns in Canada committed to cultural development) and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Land Occupancy to participate in a Cultural Clinic in 2019. This consultation, held today at Sutton’s Town Hall, was attended by a diverse set of community stakeholders: local elected officials, community members and representatives of the social and community, economic, and cultural sectors, as well as education, tourism, land use planning, environment, and health. Forty people came together for a workshop and discussion based on the sustainable approach to development promoted by Agenda 21 for Culture, with the goal of working on a new Cultural Action Plan to support and involve all sectors.
The discussions identified major issues facing Sutton, including an aging population, retention of young people, gentrification and its impact on housing costs, cultural governance, volunteer burnout, town planning and the need for a community gathering place at a time when some municipal infrastructures are reaching the end of their useful service life. Overall, there is a need for more bridge-building to ensure a more unified community, one where all sectors and organizations work better together.
Participants identified possible actions to help generate a new vision of local and regional development based on the specific nature of Sutton and the aspirations of its citizens. This will help the town and its departments work more effectively with the community. The consultation also opened up perspectives on the many ways culture can play a key role in the well-being of the Sutton community.
Today, culture is recognized as a transversal driver of development and community well-being. Culture helps create environments that are more inclusive, distinctive and attractive, and it is a strategic component of local development. This means that every area of the community can benefit from cultural action, particularly when collaboration becomes the focus. This is the idea behind the Cultural Clinic. Agenda 21 is a strategy to support sustainable development and it emphasizes culture as the fourth pillar, alongside the economy, environment and social sectors.
Initiated by Les Arts et la Ville, the Cultural Clinic brings together various actors from the community in a transversal, participatory and horizontal process (equals among equals). The purpose of the clinic is to develop a common vision among community stakeholders and to propose a common action plan for sustainable community development.
The clinic allowed participants to familiarize themselves with Agenda 21 for Culture and Culture 21 as strategies for devising actions and reference tools for integrating culture in every area of society, with a view to achieving sustainable local development. The clinic also gave participants a chance to talk to each other, share their achievements and reflect on and propose possible actions for the future. Through group participation, the workshop was able to identify local and regional barriers to change and build bridges among the participants in an effort to decompartmentalize municipal action for future actions and projects.
This is not Sutton’s first collaboration with Les Arts et la Ville. Last June, the municipality received the network’s 2018 Culture and Development Award for its project On the Trail of the Pioneers, which focused on cemetery conservation and enhancement.
