Montréal, March 25, 2026 – For the second year in a row, GoRecycle is proud to announce the recipients of the 2026 GoRecycle Awards. This year, 13 winning organizations across seven categories stood out for their outstanding performance in the sector. Three categories—Major Retailers, Independent Retailers, and Municipal Partners—feature three winners, while the remaining categories (Recycler, Carrier, GoRéemploi Partner, and Special Recognition) each recognize a single winner, nominated as the best in their category.
These awards acknowledge members and partners who stand out for their excellence in their practices and their unwavering commitment to the proper recovery of cooling appliances, all of which help protect the environment.
Thanks to their efforts and measurable results, these organizations directly contribute to the recovery of significant volumes of materials, helping reduce waste. Their rigorous management of refrigerant gases also prevents greenhouse gas emissions, supporting the fight against climate change.
