MEET LE BON BAC
Montreal’s new at-home pick-up service for hard-to-recycle materials – you know, the stuff that can’t go in the municipal recycling bin.
Ever wonder what to do with that broken cell phone, old paint cans, t-shirt with holes, or even wine bottle corks?
We make it easy to dispose of these items responsibly. Just bag it, leave it outside your door, and we’ll handle the rest – plus earn rewards for doing it.
