Optimizing curbside recycling is a team effort

Municipalities and Indigenous communities play a key role in modernized curbside recycling.

Joining forces for greater impact

Our goal is to make curbside recycling even more efficient operationally, administratively, and environmentally. Each of our municipal partners serves a minimum number of households to ensure the system's performance in their area.

Our partnership agreements with municipal bodies allow us to serve 99.1% of the population.

The term "municipal body" refers to the signatory of these agreements, whether it is a city, a Regional County Municipality, or an intermunicipal board.
