Together, we are building a more circular economy and a more supportive community.

Our Impact

Over the years, millions of kilograms of materials have been diverted from landfills.

Every donation helps:

extend the useful life of items;

reduce our environmental footprint;

fund youth mentoring programs;

raise awareness about more responsible consumption.

Our Approach

We are a circular economy organization.

We develop simple solutions that make it easy for individuals, businesses and organizations to donate items they no longer need. Whether through a donation bin, a drop-off location, a residential complex or a workplace initiative, every action helps reduce waste and create lasting social impact.

Make Giving Easy

We make giving easier with accessible solutions throughout Greater Montreal.

Give Items a Second Life

We believe the best materials are the ones that already exist.

Give Even More

Every donation directly supports initiatives that make a difference in the community.

A piece of clothing forgotten in a closet.

A coffee maker you no longer use.

A few books, a lamp or a box of toys.

To you, they may simply be items you no longer need.

To us, they become a resource that helps reduce waste, extend the life of materials and fund a cause that truly changes lives.

Our Commitment

Every donation changes a life.

The surplus generated by La Collecte supports the youth mentoring programs of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Montreal. Through these meaningful relationships, young people can build confidence, reach their full potential and create a brighter future.
