How EPRA Is Building a More Accessible Electronics Recycling System Recycle My Electronics programs offer safe, secure electronics recycling for Canadian residents, businesses, and the environment.
A
s an award-winning, industry-led, not-for-profit organization, the Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) has been setting the standard for safe, secure electronics recycling in Canada for the past 15 years through its Recycle My Electronics programs. Recycle My Electronics programs have recycled over 1.4 million tonnes of electronics, diverting them from landfill and illegal export. Whether it’s providing residents with convenient drop-off locations or offering customized electronics recycling solutions for businesses, EPRA helps Canadians make a positive impact on the environment. When it comes to recycling electronics and small countertop appliances, the message is simple: Bring It.
What Happens to End-of-Life Electronics When You “Bring It” When you bring electronics to a Recycle My Electronics authorized drop-off location, you’re helping to: • Ensure the safe and secure destruction of personal data stored on devices • Protect the health and safety of workers and handlers • Divert e-waste from Canadian landfills • Prevent e-waste from being illegally exported or handled by irresponsible recyclers, decreasing environmental issues for the planet • Recover and recycle resources that can be put back into the manufacturing supply chain, conserving natural resources
