The Quebec Beverage Container Recycling Association (QBCRA) has opened four new deposit refund sites to deal with the hundreds of millions of beverage containers that get recycled each year in the province.
They are called Consignaction+ and are capable of processing very large volumes of cans and bottles for citizens, as well as for industrial, commercial and institutional customers.
The locations also accept smaller quantities of beverage containers.
One of those four sites is in Montreal – in LaSalle.
The Consignaction+ sites are in addition to 11 regular Consignaction deposit refund sites in Quebec that accept bags of unsorted beverage containers.
There were plans to open 200 of these locations by March 1, 2025. Currently 80 are in the process of being opened.
The LaSalle Consignaction+ sites has the capacity to process roughly 25 million cans a year, about the same number as 50 retail sites.
