If you cut down a cedar hedge and want us to recycle your trimmings, you need to limb the cedars so that only the green trimmings and branches with a maximum diameter of one and a half inches remain. Otherwise, we offer a chipping service with fees.

Since the 2023 season, we have decided to stop distributing samples due to concerns about the ecological impact of this practice. Once the essential oil is used, these small glass bottles end up in recycling centers that are overwhelmed or, worse yet, in landfills. During peak season, Arbressence performs several hundred collections per day, which means that as many small glass bottles head to recycling centers or landfills. Given our ecological values, we believe this was a more sensible decision to reduce our ecological footprint.

The steam then passes through the various levels (baskets) of fresh and compacted trimmings, to be then sucked by the radiator system (coil) cooled with water. This last step will have the effect of condensing the vapor to return it in the form of a mixture of water and oil (60% water, 40% oil). This mixture will be found in settling tanks to allow us to collect the layer of oil that floats above the water, the oil being lighter. The process takes approximately 6 hours in total.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-23615\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"15\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-23615\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">I am a business and would like to buy essential oil in large quantities.
