Pick-Up Blitz Concept 

How the Pick-Up Blitz Works

Le Blitz se déroule du 21 septembre au 26 octobre 2026. Durant cette période, vous êtes invités à vous inscrire et à planifier la récupération de vos appareils réfrigérants non fonctionnels. La SORAC s’occupe de la coordination et de la logistique des collectes pour vous offrir une démarche simple et efficace. 

For businesses, companies, institutions, restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, and other organizations in Laval, the Pick-Up Blitz is an ideal opportunity to dispose of non-functional commercial refrigeration equipment that may be occupying valuable space in warehouses, storage areas, back rooms, or mechanical rooms.

 

SORAC offers a simple, turnkey solution for recovering these appliances, allowing you to free up valuable space while ensuring the responsible management of refrigerants and recyclable materials.

What happens to the appliances we collect?

Once collected, the refrigeration appliances are handled by our specialized partner PureSphera to ensure they are processed safely and responsibly. Refrigerants and oils are first recovered to prevent their release into the atmosphere, after which the appliances are dismantled and sorted. Recyclable materials, such as metals, are then recovered and recycled in accordance with applicable standards. This process helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensures that your equipment is managed responsibly at the end of its useful life.
