Successful collection

The 23rd^H The “Collecte Verte” initiative, organized as part of Quebec Waste Reduction Week (SQRD), was a great success. Presented by the Caisse Desjardins Des Rivières de Québec, this semi-annual event collects vintage electrical, computer or electronic equipment for free. Nearly 1,300 people braved the rain on Sunday with a smile on their faces to recycle their old electrical, computer and electronic devices and divert about 7.6 tons of environmentally harmful materials from landfill. The Green Group has proven that citizens are increasingly aware of environmental issues. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Québec Lévis Foundation, Collecte Verte, once again ensured the smooth running of the event.
