From PCPC’s e-newsletter #8, April 27, 2009
Some of you will read the following tips and strategies for both energy and fuel conservation, and think – I do this already! If that’s the case, congratulations; and if not, see how many you can incorporate into your lifestyle…
Ontario residents can soon drop off unwanted computers and assorted electronics at more than 100 new sites, as part of an industry-funded program dedicated to diverting more electronic waste from landfill sites.
Some 17 municipalities, select retail chains and Salvation Army Thrift Stores have been certified to collect junked computer-ware, television sets, and printers and fax machines to bolster existing recycling programs.
The program, run by the Ontario Electronic Stewardship industry association aims to divert an extra 160,000 tonnes of electronic waster over the next five years! About 91,000 tonnes of e-waste is collected in Ontario each year, but only 25 percent is managed appropriately.
