Blainville, April 22, 2024. Arbressence, the leading producer of cedar essential oil in Canada, today announces the launch of its cedar trimmings collection service on Montreal’s South Shore, in partnership with the City of Châteauguay.

Thanks to this new partnership, the residents of Châteauguay will now have the opportunity to dispose of their cedar trimmings in an environmentally friendly and free manner. By scheduling a collection via the website or by phone, citizens can benefit from the free pickup of a collection truck within 48 hours to collect their trimmings, which they will have previously placed in piles or bags at the edge of their driveway.

This initiative aligns with the City of Châteauguay’s commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development. By working together with Arbressence, the City reinforces its ecological orientation and offers its citizens an environmentally friendly alternative that promotes waste reduction. Arbressence’s mission is to promote the reduction of landfilling of materials that can be revalued and to encourage eco-responsible practices. By collecting cedar trimmings, Arbressence helps reduce the amount of material sent to landfills, which also allows cities to reduce the costs associated with waste management.

But Arbressence’s commitment goes beyond mere waste reduction. By transforming these trimmings into high-quality cedar essential oil and valuable residual mulch, Arbressence demonstrates its commitment to the circular economy and the fight against greenhouse gas emissions. The residual mulch can be used, for example, as ecological backfill, thus giving a second life to a material that would otherwise be buried.

About Arbressence: Arbressence is the largest producer of cedar essential oil in Canada. Founded on principles of innovation, sustainability, and environmental respect, Arbressence is committed to providing high-quality products while contributing to the preservation of nature.
