Following the request of many citizens who spend a lot of time at home and in their backyard, a branch collection will take place from May 4 to 15 in Chateauguay. It will allow residents to dispose of their branches accumulated during the cold season. Citizens are asked to leave their branches at the curb at the latest on the day before the beginning of the collection, on Sunday, May 3.

Reminder of the instructions to follow:

  • Branches must not be tied and must be arranged perpendicular to the curb.
  • The diameter of the branches must not exceed 4 inches (10 cm).
  • The cut or trimmed end must face the roadway.
  • The length of the branches must not exceed 10 feet (3 m).
  • If there are felled trees or too many piles of branches, they may not be picked up.

Will not be picked up:

  • Stumps and logs
  • Branches with soil clods
  • Vines and yard waste
  • Wooden boards and building materials
  • Intertwined branches
  • Felled trees and excessive quantities of branches
In the event of poor weather conditions (storms, heavy rains) or if there are very large quantities of branches to be collected, there may be a slight delay in collection. Should such a situation occur, the City will inform the citizens on its website www.ville.chateauguay.qc.ca/en and its Facebook page.
