Your containers, a precious resource
Our teams travel all over Canada to collect contaminated plastic containers that cannot be recycled by municipalities. Collection ensures that these containers do not end up in landfills and make your practices greener.
Near you, wherever you are
Every city and every village can contribute to recycling these contaminated containers : we even cover the most remote territories.
Materials collected
RPM eco specializes in collecting plastics contaminated with various chemicals, such as oils, pesticides, fertilizers, windshield washer fluid, diesel exhaust fluid, antifreeze, and other chemicals. Containers can vary in size, from 1-litre bottles to 20-litre pails, barrels, and IBCs.
Recovering these materials protects our environment and natural resources.
Predictive and secure collection
Recycling shoudn’t be complicated. Our logistic system uses artificial intelligence (AI) to plan pickups, ensuring timely collection for you.
Our truck drivers are trained to adhere to the strictest health and safety standards, providing professional and courteous service.
RPM eco trucks and trailers ensure the safe transport of contaminated containers thanks to their adapted design.

No. However, this varies by province and under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations. For example, collection of small-format oil containers is free in each Canadian province (for up to 30 or 50 litres depending on the province).
To find out the list of products covered by the regulations and for which collection is free, please refer to the provincial organization responsible for the program.
These programs are subject to change; you can periodically consult our updated list here.
Not at all if you use our services. RPM eco will provide you with the number of bins required according to the volume you generate. Bags for transporting small containers will also be provided to you free of charge and in sufficient quantity.
There is no government subsidy for the recovery of contaminated plastic containers.
Instead, it is the responsibility of the producer (the one who markets the product) to finance a free collection service for the end-user or consumer.
