Construction and demolition (C&D) waste represents almost one third of the waste disposed of in Quebec. Thus, RECYC-QUÉBEC mandated Stratzer to examine improvement opportunities. In an ecosystem where management methods vary greatly and some practices are questionable, one of the first steps is to implement a system to follow the path of materials from the construction site to the final...Learn more

The City of Gatineau has set aggressive targets to reduce the quantities of landfilled garbage. In order to achieve these goals, Stratzer was asked to validate the current collection methods and their costs. In addition, Stratzer proposed auser-pay pricing model while estimating reductions in disposed waste and anticipated costs and revenues. After a transition period during which extra bags of...Learn more

The City of Terrebonne wanted to improve waste management practices for the industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I) sectors of its territory. Stratzer accompanied the municipality in order to develop a waste management strategy. Key elements were established to promote performance, including data acquisition, incentives and coaching. A database of the IC&I, including an assessment of quantities of waste generated, was...Learn more

Small municipalities may encounter difficulties in controlling the quality and costs of their waste collection, transportation and processing services. This is why Stratzer has accompanied nine municipalities of the Centre-du-Québec region in the preparation of a common call for tenders for these services. The tender included, for the first time, the collection of organics in brown bins. In addition to...Learn more

Ten municipal organizations from the North Shore of Montreal have decided to make a joint call for tenders, with the support of Stratzer, for the sorting of their recyclables. For this project, Stratzer divided the quantities to be recycled in lots in order to favor the participation of smaller sorting centers to the call for tenders. The tender document and...Learn more

Stratzer made a portrait of the waste management of this small northern municipality and developed optimization scenarios for waste collections and the transfer station (eco-center). Moreover, the scope of intermunicipal management or autonomy desired by Chapais made it possible to modulate the basic scenarios. Stratzer then designed an action plan, including budget estimates, for the implementation of the collection, transportation...Learn more

Éco Entreprises Québec, RECYC-QUÉBEC, Énercycle and Récupération Mauricie have mandated Stratzer for an intervention project concerning the contamination of recyclables at the regional sorting center. The mandate had two components: the deployment of awareness measures and a characterization. In the awareness component, Stratzer applied three different methods, from handing out courtesy tickets to meetings of citizens with the ‘green patrol’....Learn more

Stratzer carried out, for RECYC-QUÉBEC, a compilation of all municipal contracts for the collection, transportation and sorting of recyclables in Quebec. This titanic project, which included Aboriginal communities, allowed the creation of a database with a description of each contract (type of collection, frequency, quantity of recyclables, costs, etc.). The project report presents a portrait of curbside recycling, including sorting,...Learn more

Stratzer conducted a study for RECYC-QUÉBEC concerning the value chain of pressurized fuel containers. The study provided information for the designation of new products under extended producer responsibility (EPR). The first objective of the study was to develop a portrait of the marketing, use and end-of-life management of these containers in Quebec. Stratzer highlighted that several factors are favorable to...Learn more
