31 years of moving experience in Brossard

Brossard has a bit of everything. In the 2021 Census, 38.8% of occupied dwellings were single-detached houses, 34.3% apartments in a building of fewer than five storeys and 9.1% apartments in a tower. Seven households in ten owned their home (69.6%). The city then had 91,525 residents, 6.8% more than in 2016. Nearly one dwelling in three was a condominium (31.0%), and 40.4% of residents had changed address over the previous five years. Homes are often large: 58.5% had three bedrooms or more, and 28.5% were built in 2006 or later.

The City describes itself as the crossroads of autoroutes 10, 15, 20 and 30, and the REM links it to downtown Montreal and, on its Deux-Montagnes branch, to the North Shore. Near the stations, read the signs before parking the truck: in some areas, street parking is banned at certain hours, Monday to Friday.

A container or temporary shelter on public property needs prior authorization, moves included. You apply with the form and the documents it asks for, sent by email or handed in at city hall.

Bulky items that cannot be recycled go out with the garbage, set beside the grey bin on your area’s collection day. Two exceptions: a mattress must be wrapped in a plastic bag or it stays on the curb, and wooden furniture is not picked up with the garbage. It waits for the dates on the calendar, or goes to the agglomeration’s ecocentres, free all year. For an old fridge, the City and GoRecycle offer a free pickup at your door.

The brown bin stays at the address when you leave, because its serial number is tied to the property. And if you arrive with a dog or a cat, by-law REG-219 requires an annual licence for each one.
