Discarding used masks on the ground or in green spaces also contributes to environmental pollution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The City invites the public to be civic-minded by disposing of used gloves and face masks in public garbage bins and not on the ground.<\/strong> It is also recommended that you dispose of your masks, gloves and cleaning wipes in a dedicated, resistant plastic bag with a functional closure system. This bag should be carefully resealed and stored for 24 hours before being placed in a closed household waste bin.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec.ca\/en\/health\/health-issues\/a-z\/2019-coronavirus\/wearing-a-face-covering-in-public-settings-in-the-context-of-the-covid-19-pandemic\/\" class=\"broken_link\">&gt;&gt; Learn more about wearing a mask in public settings<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the City wishes to remind everyone that it is forbidden to throw any waste in public spaces. <strong>All garbage must be put in a garbage bin<\/strong>.
