Gestion Malex and its divisions make every effort toward the reduction and recovery of residual materials. However, disposal remains inevitable for part of the materials. The company thus has infrastructures for offering its clients this capability.

RESIDUAL MATERIAL TRANSFER CENTRE

An important intermediate service

A transfer centre constitutes an intermediate stage between collection trucks and landfills. Trucks deposit their contents into landfills in an efficient manner, using trailers with a capacity of approximately 30 tonnes, which are then directed toward a certified engineered landfill.

Computerized facilities monitor the origin of loads, accurately measure volumes in transit, and produce detailed reports for all types of clientele.

A transfer station constitutes a valuable asset for reducing costs related to transportation and sanitary operations for the clients.

The transfer centres, which are of recent construction, have been designed specially to ensure good collaboration with neighbouring companies and residents.

DRY DISPOSAL SITES

Whatever the location of a dry disposal site, Gestion Malex and its divisions implement innovative measures to accurately identify the type of materials collected. The rigorous management policy of each site is known and appreciated by all stakeholders.

Each dry disposal site complies with the standards of the Ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement et des Parcs.

Specific site establishment and management measures illustrate the company’s will to anticipate coming regulations. Those measures have become the benchmark for studying the establishment of new sites and regulatory standards.

The recovery of dry materials, carried out by Gestion Malex in most sites, further demonstrates this commitment to doing more.
