Trash (French: Décharge) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Benoît Pilon and released in 2011.[1] The film stars David Boutin as Pierre Dalpé, a formerly homeless man who has rebuilt his life with a successful trash collection business and a marriage to Madeleine (Isabel Richer), the woman who saved him from the streets; however, his fortunes begin to take a turn for the worse again after he meets Ève (Sophie Desmarais), a young drug addict living on the streets whom he tries to help in the same way.[2]

The film began production in December 2009 in Montreal.[3] It premiered on October 2, 2011, at the Festival International du Film Francophone de Namur,[2] before premiering commercially in Quebec on October 21.[1]

Kathryn Casault received a Jutra Award nomination for Best Makeup at the 14th Jutra Awards in 2012.[4]
