Appliances pick up
Is your refrigeration or freezing unit at the end of its service life or non‑functional?
The first step is to validate if you are a business covered by the Regulation and whose recycling is provided for by the SORAC program.
For more information, please contact us at 1 888 728‑9169
1. Collection of your end-of-use appliance when purchasing a new one:
Free pickup will be offered by some members on a voluntary basis when new appliances are delivered. Check with your supplier to determine if they are a voluntary collection member.
IMPORTANT : il est à noter que le ramassage et le transport sont offerts gratuitement pour vos appareils qui sont prêts à être chargés dans le camion de transport, soit en bordure de porte. Des frais de « désinstallation » ou « déménagement » pourraient vous être facturés si l’appareil doit être déplacé de l’intérieur vers l’extérieur. Ces frais sont déterminés par votre fournisseur.
2. Drop off your appliance at one of our drop-off locations:
Private drop-off points located in some major citie centers allow you to drop off your appliances there.
IMPORTANT : It should be noted that you must contact the person in charge of the drop-off point to make an appointment before bringing your appliance at its end-of-use.
3. One-time pick-up of several appliances at the same place
It could be possible to organize a specific collection for the pick-up of several appliances which are at the end of their life and are gathered at the same location.
