Improving Quality of Life in Old Québec
BETTER WASTE MANAGEMENT AT PETIT CHAMPLAIN
News Release – City of Québec
Québec City, October 22, 2025 – The City of Québec continues its efforts to enhance the quality of life in Old Québec with a pilot project focused on improving waste management in the Petit-Champlain District.
This new initiative, running from October 16, 2025, to October 16, 2028, is the result of close collaboration between the Petit-Champlain District Cooperative, local merchants, and several City of Québec departments.
“Our goal is to provide a better environment for businesses, visitors, and residents by keeping sidewalks clear,” said Charles Demers, Executive Director of the Petit-Champlain District Cooperative. “I would like to thank the City of Québec and the merchants for their teamwork and commitment to the well-being of the area.”
The participation of local merchants is key to the project’s success. Six containers have been installed at the end of Rue du Petit-Champlain to store waste materials until collection. This solution helps keep sidewalks clear and eliminates both visual and odor-related nuisances.
More than a dozen merchants selected for the pilot project have agreed to use the containers and follow the new system. No garbage, food waste, or recycling from these businesses should be left on the street. Instead, merchants will transport their materials to the containers using dedicated carts.
If successful, the pilot project could lead to the expansion of this initiative to other areas of Old Québec.
This measure is part of the Plan to Improve Quality of Life in Old Québec, unveiled in 2023.

Martino, a renowned brand for its 100% Quebec-made shoes and boots, recently launched an innovative initiative to fight against textile waste.
Next to the counter of their store, an abundance of bags and pouches, virtually all unique, catches the attention of customers.
At first glance, they are practical, elegant accessories, very much in vogue since the trend of the famous tote bags.
However, far beyond their aesthetics and utility, these handbags embody a true desire to do things differently...
"It's really giving them a second life."
Made from surplus textiles and leather from previous collections, these bags are a clever response to the problem of waste.
Richère Trudeau, manager of the store located at 35½, rue du Petit Champlain, explains how surplus production can reincarnate into beautiful trendy accessories.
By transforming materials destined to be discarded into quality products, Martino is committed to an eco-responsible initiative.
For every taste at Martino Petit Champlain
These bags are exclusively offered in-store, which reinforces their unique and local character. Several models are available, priced between $19.99 and $39.99.
For over 65 years, Martino has combined expertise, talent, and traditions in the making of its products. Handcrafted, each pair of moccasins, shoes, boots, and each bag symbolizes authenticity, quality, and craftsmanship.
Since 2017, the Martino factory located in Saint-Émile has been equipped with a Teseo machine . It optimizes production and reduce raw material waste.
Creating rather than discarding, what a great idea!
Fall is the perfect excuse to add new pieces to our wardrobe. The Quartier Petit Champlain is the perfect destination to seek out original and quality fashion finds.
