The recovery and recycling of paper, cardboard, plastic, metal and glass, as well as writing materials can benefit charitable organizations and reintegration programs. For instance, we support the TerraCycle® writing instruments Brigade program as well as the Montreal Real Estate Foundation for Kids.
If all Édifice Jacques-Parizeau, Le MECO and Le Montreal Herald occupants make an effort by collecting recyclable and compostable materials, these materials will not end up in a landfill site.
Do you have any requests or questions about recycling, would you like to set up this initiative in your office, or would you like to install bins in your office space? Contact the Tenant Services Centre at 514 866‑6666.
The same goes for the collection stands set up on each floor. You can place metal, glass, plastic (including no. 6) and compostable materials (food, paper towels, tissue paper) in the designated bins. They are clearly marked to make the process easier. Recycling bins are also found at Café Caisse and on the summer terraces.
Collection at the coffee stands on each floor
Paper towels are collected in the bathrooms on each floor and the public bathrooms in Édifice Jacques-Parizeau for composting. For hygienic reasons, it is important to put only paper towels in the special bin.
Wood waste and compostable materials are to be placed in the clearly marked recycling bins at the coffee stands on each floor. Acceptable materials include: paper towels, napkins, food (including bones), paper cups without the cover, soiled paper plates, and soiled pizza boxes. Note that the paper cups, cardboard containers and plastic utensils from Café du Parquet are compostable.
Materials that are not accepted include: plastic film, wax paper, plastic, metal and glass.
You will find two Uni-Recycle drop-off points located at the building's East and West delivery docks. It allows you to deposit everything related to IT and electronics, obsolete or non-functional: computers, flat screens, CRT monitors, hard drives, ink cartridges, power cables, RAM, UPS batteries, lead-acid batteries, cell phones, office phones, tablets, modems, network switches, keyboards and mice, photocopiers, servers, AA batteries, alkaline batteries and more.
These products are processed safely and responsibly with a guarantee of confidentiality for the information contained in certain recycled devices.
