What can go in the compost
Leaves, needles, maple seeds and twigs are organic matter. Mixed into the compost, they break down, slowly in the case of needles. If your municipality collects leaves or organic waste, check what it accepts.
What doesn't
- Asphalt shingle granules: they're coated mineral particles. They don't go in the compost or the vegetable garden.
- Debris from old roofs, nails, screws, pieces of metal.
- Debris mixed with treated moss or chemicals, if the roof was treated.
When in doubt, put it in the garbage.
And don't throw it…
…into the ditch, onto the shore or into the river. Gutter debris can contain sediment and granules that have no business in the water. When we do the maintenance, we pick up the debris: there's nothing for you to deal with. The work also includes clearing the downspouts and up to 2 joints and 10 hangers. Where roof water should go.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Grenville-sur-la-Rouge
We haven't verified the official text for Grenville-sur-la-Rouge yet. Here are the rules found in the vast majority of municipalities in the Laurentians and Lanaudière:
- Never connect a downspout to the foundation drain (weeping tile) or to the sewer: it is prohibited in most municipalities in Quebec.
- Release the water on the surface, onto a permeable area (lawn, flower bed), away from the foundation. Required distances generally range from 1 m to 2 m, and 1.5 m is the most common.
- Don't direct water toward the street, the driveway, the sidewalk or the neighbouring lot (Civil Code of Québec, art. 983).
Before any work, confirm the rule with the Grenville-sur-la-Rouge urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
