Pointe-Claire and Vaudreuil-Dorion are now offering bins in municipal buildings to collect used masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pointe-Claire has set up recycling bins for disposable personal safety equipment that would otherwise end up in household waste. Disposable masks, earplugs and protective eyewear can be dropped off in the designated bins placed inside city hall, the aquatic centre and Bob-Birnie Arena, which are located between St-Jean Blvd. and Maywood Ave., corner of Douglas-Shand Ave. Vaudreuil-Dorion announced it is collecting single-use masks in bins placed at city hall (2555 Dutrisac St.), the municipal library (51 Jeannotte St.) and the Centre Multisports (3093 Boulevard de la Gare).The city said this initiative aims to prevent disposable masks from being tossed in the environment and from being sent to landfills. The materials are being recovered by TerraCycle, a company that transforms them into raw materials that can then used to make new products.
