Tracy is part of Sorel-Tracy
People still search “Tracy garbage” or “city of Tracy garbage,” but official collection information is under Sorel-Tracy and the MRC de Pierre-De Saurel.

Waste Collection by Property Type in Tracy / Sorel-Tracy
Collection rules can feel different depending on the property. A single-family home, duplex, apartment, condo, business or renovation site may not use the same practical path for bins, bulky material or ecocentre drop-off.
Use the address calendar
If your home uses the regular MRC bin system, search your exact address or sector, then place only compliant rolling bins at the curb.
- Use the black bin for garbage.
- Use the blue bin for recyclables.
- Use the brown bin for compost or organic materials.
- Check bulky item weeks before placing furniture out.
Ask the building first
Apartment and condo residents may have shared bins, property-managed collection, private instructions or restricted placement areas.
- Ask where the building places bins.
- Do not leave bulky items in common areas unless permitted.
- Use the same official sorting rules for recyclables, compost and garbage.
Do not assume residential service
Commercial sites, contractors and renovation work may need a private disposal route or ecocentre rules. Contractors are not accepted at the regional ecocentre.
Keep it out of bulky pickup
Construction, renovation and demolition materials are not accepted in bulky item collection. The ecocentre accepts several construction materials for MRC citizens, but materials must be sorted and proof of residence is required.
Find your sector first
Before buying extra bins or putting out bulky items, find your MRC sector and save the 2026 collection calendar.
Use Recyc-Québec Ça va où?
The Sorel-Tracy page points residents to the Recyc-Québec “Ça va où?” sorting tool when they are unsure how to dispose of an item.
Black Bin, Blue Bin and Brown Bin: What Goes Where
The official Sorel-Tracy page describes three main curbside streams: black bin for waste, blue bin for recyclable materials and brown bin for compost. The 2026 calendar also shows bulky items, Christmas tree collection, branches and green waste as separate collection categories.
⚫ Bac à déchets / black bin
Use the black rolling bin for household waste that is not recyclable, compostable, bulky, green waste, hazardous or accepted at the ecocentre.
Only compliant rolling bins are collected. Materials outside compliant bins or in non-conforming containers may not be picked up.
🔵 Bac de récupération / blue bin
Use the blue bin for accepted recyclable materials. Do not use the blue bin as overflow garbage or for electronics, hazardous waste, construction materials or bulky items.
When unsure, use the Recyc-Québec sorting tool before placing the item in the bin.
🟤 Bac brun / brown bin
Use the brown bin for accepted compost and organic materials according to the MRC collection calendar. The 2026 calendar shows organics as a separate collection stream.
Keep plastics, hazardous waste and bulky objects out of the brown bin.
Black is garbage, blue is recycling, brown is organics. Bulky items, branches, green waste, electronics, hazardous waste and construction material have separate rules.
Set-Out Rules: How to Place Bins Correctly in Sorel-Tracy
The MRC’s set-out guidance is very clear: bins must be placed correctly for mechanized collection. A correct calendar date can still result in a missed pickup if the bin is late, blocked, overfilled, wrongly positioned or placed in the public space when it should not be.
Pickup-ready setup
- Search your address or sector first.
- Place rolling bins at the street or sidewalk edge before 6 a.m. or the evening before collection.
- Expect collection to occur between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m.
- Keep about 60 cm / 2 ft of clearance around each bin.
- Point handles and wheels toward your property.
- Make sure the lid is closed and nothing is placed on top.
- Place bins on your property, at the edge of the street, not on public space unless the official exception applies.
Common missed-pickup triggers
- Putting bins out after 6 a.m.
- Putting bins in the street, sidewalk or bike path when you have a property edge available.
- Leaving less than 60 cm around bins.
- Facing the wheels and handles toward the street.
- Leaving lids open or putting material on top of the bin.
- Using a non-compliant container instead of a rolling bin.
- Placing branches or renovation waste with regular garbage.
Correct bin placement also helps keep sidewalks, streets and bike paths clear for pedestrians, vehicles, snow removal and street cleaning.
Bulky Item Collection in Tracy / Sorel-Tracy

Branches, Green Waste and Christmas Trees
Branches are a special issue in Sorel-Tracy because of emerald ash borer measures. The City page says no branches, whether hardwood or softwood, are accepted in bulky item collection, green waste collection or regular collection for an indefinite period. Specific branch collections are used instead.
Do not put branches in regular collection
Branches should not be placed with bulky items, green waste or regular garbage. Use the specific branch collection information or the ecocentre.
Use accepted bags only
The 2026 calendar legend shows green waste in paper bags or orange or transparent bags. Do not mix green waste with regular garbage.
Check the calendar symbol
The 2026 calendar includes a Christmas tree collection symbol. Use the official calendar date instead of leaving a tree out early or after the scheduled collection.
Older City guidance for branch collection used limits such as branches tied in bundles, maximum diameter and weight limits. Always verify the current branch notice before setting material out.

Sticker required for an additional garbage bin
If a property owner wants collection for more than one garbage rolling bin, check the current extra-bin sticker page and fee before placing an additional black bin out.
Hotel de ville and official page
The City search result notes that 2026 extra garbage-bin stickers are available through Sorel-Tracy City Hall at 71, rue Charlotte. Always verify the current cost and rules before paying.
An extra garbage bin without the proper current-year sticker may not be collected. Use the official page or contact the MRC before relying on a second bin.
Missed Collection in Tracy / Sorel-Tracy: What to Check First
