A new container for glass recovery is now available to everyone at our head office at 8750, boulevard Industriel in Trois-Rivières. The population is invited to drop off non-refundable bottles and containers in clear and colored glass.
Did you know?
The glass collected in voluntary drop-off points is the cleanest glass we receive and therefore the easiest to process. This glass is sorted at our facilities to remove small contaminants such as labels, plastic caps, and impurities. It is then crushed into small pieces and sent for melting. Once melted, the glass can be molded to create new glass objects such as new bottles, glass food containers, windows, or other glass products. Therefore, it can be stated that glass recovered from voluntary drop-off containers and sent for melting is infinitely recyclable.
The glass that is not sent for melting is 100% recycled by Bellemare Abrasives & Minerals. It will be used for sandblasting, pool filtration or as an esthetic ground cover for plant beds and trails.
Accepted or not?
Glass bottles and food containers, transparent or colored, are accepted. We invite the population to return the refundable bottles and containers to retailers.
