September 3, 2024 — Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ) announces that it has recently signed a partnership agreement with the ville de Québec to modernize its curbside recycling system. Thus, Éco Entreprises Québec will be responsible for overseeing all the system’s operations and financing them. For its part, the municipal administration will continue to ensure collection and transportation services for recyclable materials and will continue to manage the monitoring of daily operations related to them as well as information to citizens.
Cooperation with the ville de Québec and all municipal organizations (MOs) will optimize front-line services. The approach taken by Éco Entreprises Québec contributes to the development of a circular economy and aims in particular to reduce the quantities of materials destined for landfill by improving the list of materials accepted in the recycling bins.
“As in all of Québec, collaboration with the ville de Québec is essential to ensure the implementation of the principle of extended producer responsibility (EPR). In this way, we are transforming our recyclable materials management system together, both locally and throughout Québec, to make it more efficient and optimal.”
— Maryse Vermette, President and CEO of Éco Entreprises Québec
Éco Entreprises Québec, a private non-profit organization, is the new manager of the entire curbside recycling system and represents companies that market containers, packaging and printed paper in Quebec. Our mission is to enable Quebecers to recover more and better, ensure a second life for recyclable materials and contribute to the circular economy throughout the province. Bin Impact, the new reference in curbside recycling in Quebec, aims to educate people on the right way to sort materials and to raise awareness of the impact of what we put in the bin.
