Away from home recovery: a challenge
Currently, 90% of the containers used in residences are recovered. So the vast majority of Quebecers have adopted good recycling habits when they are at home. However, outside their homes, i.e. on transportation, in public areas and at work, only 50% of containers are put back into the deposit system.
Consignaction strongly encourages business owners, managers and employees to install collection bins in work and recreation areas.
Jump on board! Order collection boxes by calling 1-877 CANETTE.
