Our raison d'être
Responsibly disposing of certain waste materials can be confusing, time consuming, and inconvenient.
We found ourselves wondering if there is an easier way to responsibly "throw out." The idea for Le Bon Bac was thus born!
Meet Our Founders
This is the space to introduce visitors to the business or brand. Briefly explain who's behind it, what it does and what makes it unique. Share its core values and what this site has to offer.
Successful recycling is challenging for many reasons. There is confusion on ‘what’ and ‘how’ to recycle, lack of transparency on what happens to your waste and the inconvenience related to properly disposing of those hard-to-recycle materials like batteries and aerosol cans.
Let us help you make the best decision with what to do with your waste, reduce the chance of it ending up in landfills and create value out of your garbage. Le Bon Bac will also help you learn and participate easily in reuse programs offered in Montreal, like opting for a reusable takeout container next time you order-in.
Throw better
Le Bon Bac is about education, transparency and, above all, convenience. We make it easy to understand what is recyclable with us, where your waste has gone and how it is being recycled by our partners.

By signing-up for Le Bon Bac, you have access to Montreal based reuse initiatives to reduce your generated waste with minimal effort.
