Spring Cleaning? Recycle Your E-Waste!

Now’s the perfect time to gather up your old electronics and keep them out of the landfill! Recycle your e-waste and help fund Living Green Barrie’s 10,000 Trees Program. Plus, drop off your e-waste and take home a baby tree as a thank-you!

Why Recycling E-Waste Matters E-waste is a fast-growing waste stream, and improper disposal harms the environment and human health. Electronics contain toxic materials that can leach into soil and water, while valuable metals can be recovered through recycling. Diverting e-waste reduces pollution, conserves resources, cuts emissions, and creates jobs. Responsible recycling also prevents unsafe disposal abroad.

Here is the list of  items you can drop off to be recycled:
 Computers (Desktops, laptops, tablets)
 Printers (desktop and floor-standing)
 Printer cartridges
 Video gaming devices
 Telephones, including cellular phones
 Display devices (TV’s, LCD and CRT monitors)
 Radios and stereos, including after-market vehicle stereos
 Headphones
 Speakers
 Cameras, including security cameras
 Video recorders
 Drones with audio or visual recording equipment
 Peripherals and cables used to support the function of information technology, telecommunications and audio visual equipment, including charging equipment
 Parts of information technology, telecommunications and audio visual equipment sold separately, such as hard drives
 Handheld point-of-sale terminals or devices
 Electronic musical instruments
 Audio recording equipment
 ITT/AV Equipment weighing more than 250 kg
 Small and large appliances
 Power tools
 Electric vehicles (scooters, e-bikes)
 Children’s toys
