Bring your old electronic devices to Renaissance donation centres!

Renaissance donation centres are a part of the network of official depots of the Electronic Products Recycling Association of Quebec (EPRA-Quebec), which is responsible for the retrieval and recycling of electronic products. Renaissance thus ensures that end-of-life electronics are recycled in a safe and ecologically responsible way.

Logo Appel a recycler

Bring your used batteries!

Renaissance donation centers are official drop-off points for Appel à Recycler, a recognized management organization (RMO) that ensures responsible management of battery recovery and recycling.

This partnership will enable consumers to drop off their used batteries in dedicated drop-off boxes available at the 60 Renaissance donation centers in Quebec.

Recycling batteries is essential to reduce the environmental and safety risks associated with batteries disposed of in inappropriate containers (garbage cans, recycling bins).

The network of drop-off points for batteries counts over 4,000 active drop-off points in Quebec, including 1,900 public drop-off points. To find the depot nearest you, consult the complete list on the Appel à recycler website.
