Public works

A reminder that the MRC Brome-Missisquoi Ecocenter – Sutton sector, will reopen on the fourth Saturday of the month from April 25, 2020 to November 28, 2020. The service, offered in collaboration with the Town of Sutton, will resume its activities in 2020 at the usual location: 260, Principal Street South, Sutton.

The other ecocenter sites of the MRC’s network (Bromont, Bedford, Lac Brôme, Cowansville and Farnham) are available, free of charge, on Saturdays during the same period to all residents of Brome-Missisquoi. For more information : https://mrcbm.qc.ca/en/eco_coordonnees.php

Tricks for collection of organic materials in winter:

The Sutton municipal ecocentre will close its doors in 2020. This decision has been taken because conditions required to ensure environmental and economic viability of the project were not met as part of the process to improve the regional ecocentre service. Essentially, the decision to close the Town of Sutton’s ecocentre is based on the following considerations:

• The existence of two parallel services, regional (MRC) as regards and municipal, creates confusion as regards the nature of the recyclable materials accepted at each location;
• The objective of municipal recycling being profitable for the preservation of the environment was not met;
• In a context of scarcity of resources, it has become impossible for the Town to find the personnel necessary to provide this service;
• This is part of the policy of reducing costs relating to garbage collection.

In order to ensure the efficient recycling of eligible materials, the Sutton population will be able to continue to use the usual garbage collection services and the services provided by the ecocentre of the MRC of Brome-Missisquoi which are in the process of optimizing their centre (new layout of the site coming in 2020).

Sectors concerned: Woodard, Sénécal, Royea, Dyer, Laplante and Principale Nord from civic number 91.

Town of Sutton wishes to notify you that tests will be made on the booster pump situated on Dyer Street, on November 28, 2019. This may cause pressure variation. We apologize for any potential inconvenience.

Please contact the public works department at 450-538-2290, for further information.

There will be a second door-to-door leaf collections in all the sectors on Friday  November 22^nd, 2019.

Only paper bags without adhesive tape will be picked up. The bags must be placed by the side of the road before 7:00 am. The leaves will be composted at the RIEDSBM.
