The Jetroque blog

The blog for reuse and the circular economy

Every year in Quebec, more than 30% of objects sent to landfill are still perfectly functional: furniture, appliances, clothing, toys, sporting goods. This blog exists to change that — one guide at a time.

Here you'll find practical guides to bartering and giving between neighbours, honest comparisons of second-hand platforms, concrete methods to give away your furniture or appliances without throwing them out, and clear explanations of the circular economy, responsible consumption, and waste reduction.

Our angle is simple: reuse before recycling. Reusing an object produces up to ten times less CO₂ than manufacturing a new one — and it's often faster than selling it. Whether you're in Montreal, Quebec City, or elsewhere in the francophone world, these guides apply to your reality: local platforms, applicable laws (Law 25, GDPR), community organizations, and municipal solutions.

Articles are written by the Jetroque team, regularly updated, and backed by verifiable public sources (RECYC-QUÉBEC, ADEME, Statistics Canada). Happy reading — and happy reusing.
