MONTREAL – Montreal’s inspector general is recommending the city fine a waste-management company $700,000 for failing to follow municipal subcontracting rules.
In a report published Monday, the inspector general’s office says Environmental 360 Solutions did not seek permission before awarding contracts to subcontractors that were over the legal limit of $1 million.
The report also accuses the company of continuing to work with a blacklisted subcontractor operating under a different name.
Environmental 360 Solutions says in the report that it awarded the contracts to ensure waste-management services remained efficient despite a labour shortage.
The inspector general’s office says the city should not renew its contract with the waste-management company.
As well, it says the subcontractors involved should be blacklisted for five years.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 23, 2026.
