Since June 2025 the residents of Dollard-des-Ormeaux have been able to take advantage of a new free doorstep pickup service for old household cooling appliances. This service is offered by the non-profit organisation GoRecycle.
How does the service work?
Ask for a doorstep pickup service for an old refrigerator, freezer or wine cellar, by following these steps:
- Visit GoRecycle.com/collect
- Complete the online form
- Empty the appliance
- Take the appliance outside the house, avoiding the curb
Other household cooling appliances such as air conditioners, water dispensers and dehumidifiers are not eligible for a doorstep pickup service. Please bring them to the ecocentre or to one of the annual mobile collections organised by the City.
A small gesture, but a big impact
Household cooling appliances contain large quantities of halocarbons. Each appliance that is properly recycled saves an average of 1 ton of GHGs – the equivalent of a round-trip flight from Montreal to Barcelona. By handing over your end-of-life appliance to GoRecycle, you can be sure that over 95% of the materials will be recycled. A simple and responsible gesture in the fight against climate change!
