Unwanted electronics are the fastest growing segment in an already burgeoning solid waste stream – yet upwards of 90% of their component parts can be recycled, and many can be refurbished and reused, as they contain some of the most valuable elements mined and refined in the modern world.
Recycleyourelectronics.ca is the public name for the program responsible for diverting electronic waste, operated by Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES). It is also a searchable website that enables postal code, community or item lookup for where and how to reuse or recycle unwanted or out-of-date electronics in a safe and convenient manner.
