Arbressence provides a free cedar trimmings collection service in over 125 municipalities across Quebec. The cedar trimmings are distilled to allow the extraction of the essential oils, and the resulting valuable residual mulch from the process is subsequently redistributed to our municipal and corporate partners to enrich their soil.

Instead of heading towards landfills, this valuable material will be repurposed in a circular economy approach.
