A computer version of this
directory is available on our
website and, will be updated
periodically. If you want to be listed
as recycler or for comments
and suggestions, contact us at
(819) 826-6505.
WORD FROM THE WMC PRESIDENT
It is with great pleasure that the Waste Management Commission (WMC)
in co-operation with the Regional County
Municipality (RCM) releases this new
directory pertaining to residual materials:
the "Directory for the recycling citizen of
the Val-Saint-François".
More and more, we are aware of the impact
of our waste on our environment. Getting
involved in the protection of environment
is no longer considered a tedious task. It
is now a way of life as much essential as
stimulating. To improve the management
of residual materials, we must learn ways
to do so in our surroundings.
This guide presents new ways to dispose
of materials in order to transform this waste into resource. You will find
details of the major recyclers in the Val-Saint-François RCM. It's easy,
just search in the table of contents for the item you need to recycle and
consult the corresponding pages. You will also find several subjects
pertaining to waste management. We hope to give solutions to Val-SaintFrançois citizens in order to collectively, improve our environment.
We thank the organizations and companies that agreed to publish their
name.
In the name of the WMC and RCM board members, I wish you a pleasant
reading.
Denis V. Allaire
President
Details and services offered are subject to change without notice. We
recommend you call first. The Val-Saint-François RCM takes no responsibility
for the service offered by the recyclers.

Recycling, it's great…reduction, is even better!
Here are a few questions to ask ourselves before buying a product :
- Do I really need this product?
- Is there another product as efficient that would better respect the environment?
- Will this product be durable?
- Do I know how this product was manufactured, how to use it and how it will be discarded?
- Where and how this product was manufactures ?
- Are the materials used to manufacture the products renewable and are they used in a
manner not to use up our natural resources?

PROGRAMME FOR THE PURCHASE OF CLOTH DIAPERS
Facts:
In Quebec, we discard 600 million disposable diapers
each year, enough diapers to fill approximately 6,000
garbage trucks;
The potty training process of a child requires 7,000
disposable diapers, close to one ton of waste per
child;
It takes between 300 to 500 years for a disposable diaper to decompose
in a sanitary landfill;
A little help from the RCM …
In order to reduce the amount of disposable diapers buried each year in
its landfill, the Val-Saint-François RCM has introduced a new programme
to encourage the use of cloth diapers. It offers a grant to new parents to
purchase of a set of cloth diapers. For information, contact the RCM at
(819) 826-6505 ext. 29.

GRASS AND LEAVES
Even if they seem safe for the environment, grass and leaves are the main
cause of contamination in a landfill and, are partly responsible for the production
of biogas and leachate. Instead of discarding them in your garbage, bring your
grass and leaves at the following locations for composting:

… grasscycling
Why complicate your life with cleaning your lawn, leave the cut grass on the
lawn and it will retain humidity, protect against disease and produce an
important amount of nitrogen. Combined with a thin layer of compost in spring
and fall, it will provide a natural organic supply that will reduce by 40% the
need of fertilizers.
A simple method to follow: mow the lawn and enjoy life!
… home composting
Composting, this is an easy way to recycle approximately one third of our
residues. In fact, the majority of biodegrable residues of home and garden can
be composted : fruit and vegetables peelings, coffee grounds, eggshells, leaves,
wilted plants, etc. Furthermore, this activity will allow you to produce quality
compost to be used in the garden, in the flower beds, around trees and on the
lawn.

See following page for more information.
HOME COMPOSTING
The Val-Saint-François RCM offers sessions on home composting and
composters at reduced prices. If you are interested in this activity, contact
the RCM at (819) 826-6505 to learn when the next session will be held.
Home composting in the Val-Saint-François…
YES, IN MY YARD
REMINDERS ON HOME COMPOSTING
What to do?
1.Place your composter on a level and well-drained soil.
2. Add organic materials.
Place both (humid) nitrogen-based and (dry) carbon-based materials. For example, alternate
layers of kitchen waste and yard waste such as leaves, straw or peatmoss. Collect leaves in the
fall for use all year long. Chop materials into small pieces to accelerate the process.
ANTIQUITÉS
3.Keep the compost slightly damp but not too wet. Cover to protect it from excess rain. If it is too
wet, turn the pile and add dry material such as dry leaves. If it is to dry, add water.
4.Aerate the compost by turning with a pitchfork or place an air chimney in the centre.
What to compost
Humid materials, nitrogen-rich (greens)
Dry materials, carbon-rich (browns)
Plant trimmings, flowers
Fruit and vegetable scraps
Tea bags, coffee grounds
Egg shells
Grass (small amounts)
Leaves
Straw or hay
Newspapers
Sawdust (small amounts)
Small twigs/chips
What to avoid composting

PAINT
Water-based (latex) and oil-based (alkyl) paints, primers, varnishes, dyes and
several products in this category are considered household hazardous waste.
Each year, more than 4.5 millions kilos of paint, metal and plastic can be found
in landfill sites. However, they can be entirely recycled. Most of them can be
restored and the metal and plastic containers can be recycled.
Bring your paint leftovers to the following locations, free of charge. Please note
that artist paint, industrial paint, road paint, along with solvents, thinners, glues
and petrochemicals are accepted only at the Eco-Centre.
Valcourt area:
QUINQUAILLERIE CHOQUETTE SCOTT (RONA), 5543 Chemin de l’Aéroport, Valcourt, (450) 532-2453
For the entire RCM:
With the help of the "Éco-Peinture" programme, more than 2.6 million kilograms
of paint were recycled in 2003 in Quebec. This will give back colour to your
environment!
A few useful hints …
The best way to not have paint leftovers is to use the entire amount! Measure the
surface to cover and determine with a qualified dealer the amount of paint necessary.
Use the excess paint in a closet, on a bookcase, on shelves or use it as a base coat.
To avoid dried surface on your paint, properly seal the container and store upside
down; it will last longer.
Think of buying recycled paint: its quality and worthwhile price result in a most
attractive product … the choice of colours is surprising.

CONSUMER BATTERIES
Quebecers buy approximately 50 million consumer batteries each year. Well over
75% of these are alkaline single use (primary) batteries. Only 3% of old batteries
are recycled. The remainder is found in the garbage and, sent to the landfill site.
These products contain heavy metals and pollute our environment.
Rechargeable batteries
The purchase of rechargeable batteries and charger is a major investment but, it
is soon absorbed since this type of battery represents long-term savings, especially
in energy consuming products. The environmental impacts are lessened as long
as the batteries are recycled. Bring them, free of charge, to the following locations.
Windsor area:
For the entire RCM:
ÉCOCENTRE DU VAL-SAINT-FRANÇOIS, (see information on pages 19-21)
Non-rechargeable batteries
For certain usage, rechargeable batteries are less or not adapted. For example,
since they discharge rapidly when not in use, it is recommended to use rechargeable
batteries in smoke or carbone monoxide detectors. This type of battery is also
used in hearing aids, watches, calculators requiring a mini-battery "button". When
your non-rechargeable batteries are spent, bring them to the following locations
to be safely eliminated.

CAR TIRES
The storage of scrap tires represents high risks of water, air and soil contamination
in case of fire, not to mention the major health risks and high costs of restoring
contaminated soils. Since October 1st 1999, an environmental fee of $3 is
charged for each new tire bought for road purposes. In part, this environmental
fee will cover the recovery service cost of scrap tires and, empty the scrap tire
storage sites in Quebec.
Closer to home, the programme financed in part with your $3, allowed the ValSaint-François RCM to empty its major scrap-tire sites: approximately 82,000
tires in Stoke and, 14,000 tires in Val-Joli.
The recovery service of scrap tires is free. The dealer cannot charge you when
you return your scrap tires whether you buy a new tire or not. Ask your garage
dealer before bringing your tires.
A $3 will travel…
Since 1993, approximately 47 million car and truck tires were treated, transformed
and recovered. Various products are marketed in Quebec such as barn mats,
floor tiles, road humps, rubber-coated bitumen, undermats, sound-proofing
panels and many others. Approximately fifteen tire-processing companies exist,
more than 400 direct jobs were created in the tire transformation field and,
more than 85% of tires are now recycled.
Source: Recyc-Quebec
Alway maintain the specified tire pressure for your car. An under-inflated tire
will wear out prematurely, increase friction and increase fuel consumption by
6% to 8%.
