What is the We Recycle program?
Thank you for your contribution!

Every day, electronic materials are given a second life through reuse, recycling, and recovery. To make this happen, since 2010, Videotron is proud to have partnered with SIT Mauricie, an organization whose mission is to support the social integration, labour market re-entry, and wellness of people with mental health issues in the Mauricie area. On a daily basis, employees ensure the responsible management of electronic materials from construction projects, network maintenance, and customer returns.
All mobile devices and their accessories can be recycled at the same time. They must be dropped off at a collection point or sent by mail, in a single package.
