We are partnering with GoRecycle to offer you a recycling service for your old refrigeration appliances when you bring them to our drop-off location.
This service makes it easier for you to dispose of your appliances, and ensures that they are properly disposed of.
New: Curbside pickup service
Starting June 9, 2025, GoRecycle will offer residents of the Island of Montreal a free door-to-door collection service for their household refrigeration appliances.
This service complements the one offered at ecocenters and roadside collection points, and aims to facilitate access to responsible recycling while reducing the abandonment of polluting appliances on the curb.
When and where?
Saturday and Sunday, August 30 and 31 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Beaconsfield High School, during the hazardous household waste collection.
Appliances recycled by GoRecycle:
- Refrigerators > 2.5 pi3
- Wine cellars and coolers
- Freezers
- Water dispensers
- Window or mobile air conditioners
- Dehumidifiers
Why recycle?
Appliances abandoned at the curb are mostly crushed without the refrigerant gases being removed. The gases are then released into the environment, along with other harmful materials such as oil and plastic.
Each appliance collected by GoRecycle prevents the release of over a tonne of greenhouse gases (GHGs).
What does 1 tonne of GHG represent?
- A flight from Montreal to Barcelona.
- Composting for 4 1/2 years.
- Refusing 684,932 plastic straws.
