Characterization of Residual Materials from Quebec's Commercial Sub-Sector in Québec

Since the transition was made from small recycling boxes to roll-out containers, more and more municipalities have been including businesses and institutions in their municipal curbside recycling programs. ÉEQ feels that it is important to have accurate information on the quantity and composition of materials thus recovered because it may eventually be called upon to include the collection and handling of those materials in reimbursable total net costs.

The project is supervised by RECYC-QUÉBEC, in partnership with BFI, Éco Entreprises Québec, the City of Montréal and the Conférence régionale des élus de Montréal.
