Easy 3-step process

Cedar trimming

Trim your cedar hedges as usual and then put your trimmings in bags along the side of your home or make a stack easily accessible for a trailer. Then contact us to schedule a pickup date.

Collecting your cuttings

We will then proceed to collect your cedar trimmings at your home. You can also choose to drop off your cedar trimmings at one of our drop-off locations free of charge.

Recycling your parings

We then ensure the transformation of the cedar trimmings in an ecological and economical way. We strive to offer premium quality products that comply with government environmental standards.

Fleet of vehicles for quick pickup

Arbressence has a fleet of vehicles dedicated to the quick pickup of cedar trimmings in the Laurentides and Lanaudière regions. All residents can benefit from a fast and personalized collection service. Our fleet is made up of small trucks with trailers so that they can easily be positioned for your cedar trimming collection.

Cedar Recycling

Arbressence redirects over 3200 tons of cedar trimmings annually away from landfills.

The cedar trimmings are sorted, shredded and compacted in distillation columns of a capacity of 5 to 15 tons.
A high concentration of steam is then injected at the bottom of the columns in order to pass through all the layers of cedra trimmings, and is then sucked into another container.
The trimmings are then removed from the columns and used as a top quality soil amendment in which we plant cedars.
The vapour drawn into another tank is then cooled with water in serpentines to produce condensation and transform into a mixture of water and oil.
It continues its journey in settling tanks so that we can finally collect the layer of oil that floats above the water.

The process will take a total of 6 hours to produce a premium quality essential oil.
