Residents of the Canton de Hatley will no longer have access to the City of Sherbrooke’s ecocentres as of April 1, 2026. This situation stems from the end of the intermunicipal agreement, at the initiative of the City of Sherbrooke. The City has informed the Municipality that it will temporarily close the Rose-Cohen ecocentre in 2026 in order to carry out major expansion work. During this period, all Sherbrooke customers will be redirected to a single ecocenter, which will reduce its capacity.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Is this change permanent?
The City of Sherbrooke is terminating the agreement due to major construction work and increased traffic in 2026. This is not a decision made by the Canton de Hatley. Once the work is completed, the Municipality will submit a request to the City of Sherbrooke to renegotiate a new agreement.
Why was the Magog ecocenter chosen?
After analyzing the various options, the City of Magog’s ecocenter proved to be the closest, offering a reasonable distance, a wide variety of accepted materials, and opening hours suited to the needs of Canton de Hatley residents.
Do we still have access to other ecocentres?
Yes. Residents of the Canton de Hatley still have access to the Barnston (Coaticook) ecocentre. The Municipality of the Canton de Hatley is a member of the Régie intermunicipale de gestion des déchets solides de la région de Coaticook, which operates the ecocentre and the landfill site.
