Special Pickups

Special pickup is a paid service the Town provides to collect items prohibited in regular garbage pickup, including construction material and permanent household fixtures (sinks, toilets, etc.).

Procedure

1. Place all materials by the curb before contacting Public Works; all construction materials must be placed in durable construction bags and cannot exceed 35 pounds each.
2. Contact Public Works. 
3. After making a special pickup request, a Public Works representative will evaluate the cost of the pickup based on the type and volume of materials. Please note that there is a minimum charge of $20 for all pickups. A form with the total cost of the pickup will be handed over to you or left in your mailbox if no one is home.
4. Payment can then be made by cash, cheque (payable to the Town of Montreal West), or debit at Town Hall. Town Hall will notify Public Works once the payment has been received. 

Please note that the material must be placed at curbside for pickup, under no circumstances do our employees collect material from the resident’s private property.

What materials do not qualify for special pickup?

Public Works will not collect tires, paints, solvents, or other hazardous materials or loose soil, earth, rocks, etc.
