Recycling Electronics

Old, outdated, and broken electronics are piling up in our landfills. Many commodities found in electronics can be recovered and recycled. Glass, copper, steel aluminium, plastic and precious metals can be removed and reused in new products.

BC Return -it Electronics is a province wide electronics recycling program. You can drop off end-of-life products at any of the collection sites free of charge. Items that can be recycled include: fax machines, tvs, desktop computers, computer monitors, keyboards, mouse, cables,laptops and desktop printers. (Have a working useable electronic? Make sure to donate it to a thrift store).

Encorp also recycles beverage containers including milk cartons. You can free up landfill space and make some extra cash too with your beverage containers! For information on the recycling programs, a list of recylcing locations and beverage deposits visit http://www.encorp.ca/
