This application is for Quebec residents. Do you know how and where to get rid of products you don’t use? Ça va où? quickly answers your questions and helps you sort your products and materials, whether they belong in an ecocentre, a drop-off site, the recycling bin, the organic waste bin, a special collection or even the trash bin. The application lets you : ● Easily find where and how to get rid of different products and materials you do not want or need according to your municipality and geolocalized position, like : batteries, light bulbs, metals, plastics, clothing, organic matter, bulky items, electronic products, etc. ● Quickly display ecocentres and drop-off sites in Quebec with an interactive geolocalized map. ● Display the contact information for ecocentres and drop-off sites closest to you. ● Get sorting advice for different products. You can find information about the reuse and recycling of over 1000 types of products sold in Quebec. Recycling in Quebec Almost ¾ of Quebecers sort their waste, though more than half admit not always being sure if they put the right product in the right bin. We want to help people who want to better recycle but don’t always have the right information. Municipalities offer many ecocentres and drop-off sites and with the Ça va où? app, it’ll be easier for you to find them. Notes about access requests : The application uses geolocalization technology. This access is necessary in order to find the closest drop-off points for each user. When you open the app, it will ask you your default municipality in order to display the correct municipal service information (ecocentres, different collections, etc.) for your area of residence. The Ça va où? app now offers a game to practice your sorting instincts! Play and try to win all the badges! ### THE ÇA VA OÙ? APP DOES NOT COLLECT ANY PERSONAL DATA ###
