3. Recycle your freezer
Is your freezer no longer functional or no one wants it? Entrusting it to GoRecycle for proper recycling is one of the best ways you can help fight climate change. These two options can make it even easier:
Find a nearby ecocentre, recycling centre or sorting centre
More than 300 GoRecycle drop-off points in Quebec, including ecocentres, recycling centres and sorting facilities ensure that your freezer is recycled responsibly. These drop-off points accept household freezers larger than 2.5 cubic feet.
Recycling your freezer is free of charge. Simply consult the GoRecycle drop-off point directory to find the one nearest you and bring in your old freezer. Before you go, make sure you are a citizen of the municipality served, confirm that you have not reached your maximum number of annual visits and check the hours of operation.
Free appliance collection service with purchase
Decided to buy a new freezer? More than 100 retailers offer a free pick-up and recycling service with the purchase of a new appliance.
We invite you to consult the list of GoRecycle partner stores offering the home collection service with purchase before shopping for your next household appliance. This way, you can ensure your old one will be recycled responsibly.
Municipal home appliance removal
Many municipalities now offer a home appliance removal service. We invite you to consult the GoRecycle directory of cities offering home freezer removal to see whether yours is listed.
Note that each municipality defines its own terms and conditions. Be sure to check the information in the link provided in the directory under the name of your municipality. Proof of residence will also be required in order to benefit from this service.
