Enfouibec

What Enfouibec does

Enfouibec is a Quebec-based integrated residual materials management company founded in 1982 in Bécancour, providing container rental, materials sorting, contaminated-soil treatment, bulk-product sales, and ecocentre operations to residential, commercial, and industrial customers across the Mauricie, Centre-du-Québec, and Bois-Francs regions. The company operates from two physical locations — Bécancour (sector Saint-Grégoire, with an additional contaminated-soil burial site on Chemin des Hêtres and treatment operations on Boulevard du Parc Industriel) and Princeville (transfer station and ecocentre) — and runs a fleet of more than 350 rental containers in 12, 25, and 40 cubic-yard sizes.

The company's core operating capabilities include a Recyc-Québec Bronze-certified sorting center that processes roughly 200,000 cubic meters of construction, renovation, and demolition (CRD) material annually and achieves an approximately 80% recovery rate; a microbiological bioremediation process for contaminated soils that stimulates indigenous microbial activity to degrade organic contaminants such as petroleum products, complemented by maximum-security burial cells in clay terrain with dual impermeable membrane lining for non-treatable soils (LESC, operational since 2021); and material processing equipment (crushers, screens, grinders) for recycling of concrete, asphalt, brick, wood, metals, and plastics. Downstream, Enfouibec sells recovered bulk products including compost, biomass, topsoil, sand, gravel, crushed concrete, and cedar mulch.

The business operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer and sales-led go-to-market model centered on phone and website-based inquiry, with pricing on a per-container/per-tonne basis (overages at $97/tonne; surcharges for items such as creosote wood at $175/tonne minimum). Revenue streams span container rental, sorting/processing fees, contaminated-soil treatment and disposal, bulk product sales, ecocentre services (free for RIGIDBNY member residents; $5/cubic yard for Princeville residents), and transfer-station transloading. Since 2023, Enfouibec has been part of Valgo Canada, a holding entity created through the acquisition of Valgo France that also groups Gestion 3LB, Valgo Environnement, and Ondémoli under a single umbrella, bringing international environmental-services expertise to the Quebec operations. A 2025 announcement of Projet GCB indicates entry into battery-sector residue storage for future recovery, signaling forward vertical expansion.

• Valgo Environnement: Parent group and French environmental services firm specializing in soil remediation and polluted-site cleanup. Directly comparable given Enfouibec's bioremediation and contaminated-soil treatment activities, and the fact that Valgo France is the corporate parent.
• Groupe Deric: Quebec-based environmental services group offering C&D materials sorting, contaminated soil treatment, container rental, and bulk product sales. Directly comparable across virtually all of Enfouibec's service lines within the Quebec market.
• Gestion 3LB: Sibling entity under Valgo Canada operating a technical landfill (LET) opened in 2010. Directly comparable as a related residual-materials operator sharing management, customers, and operational synergies with Enfouibec.
