Evaluating waste materials is a serious challenge. Orientations and governmental reuse goals outline the process under the Politique québécoise de gestion des matières résiduelles (Residual Materials Management Policy of Québec)
In order to respond to the Politique québécoise de gestion des matières résiduelles, the MRC de Vaudreuil-Soulanges ensures the application of the measures of its Plans de gestion des matières résiduelles in its territory. Several measures are aimed at ICI companies.

“Recycling Champions” in the region
As part of the project to optimize the collection of recyclable materials from the ICI, the MRC de Vaudreuil-Soulanges presents the region’s “Recycling Champions”. This initiative, under the slogan ICI on voit vert, aims to encourage other ICI in the region to follow suit.
Video clips have been produced to present these champions and their actions to reduce their impact on the environment.

Tax on Quarries and Sand Pits
Municipal laws require municipalities in Quebec to form a local or regional roads fund and collect legally set fees from operators of sandpits and quarries on its territory in order to address certain consequences of the operation of these sites, such as damage caused to road infrastructures. In Vaudreuil-Soulanges, the MRC is responsible for managing this fund and for allocating the collected fees to municipalities.
The amount of the fees is set annually according to a law and is calculated based on the quantity (in metric tons or cubic metres) of transported material that will possibly travel on municipal public roads. These fees are payable directly to the MRC. For 2024, fees were set at $0.68 per metric ton / $1.29 per cubic metre / $1.84 per cubic metre for dressed stone.
Operators must report to the MRC three times a year the quantities of material they have produced and that have been transported offsite by completing the form below. The MRC verifies the operators’ reports, invoices payable duties and ensures collection.
