Electronics and Computer Waste in Canada needs to be Properly Disposed of
Comprised of so many different components, electronics are not your average waste product. Proper disposal requires careful consideration and any electronics or computer waste should be separated from one’s general trash. How to dispose of electronics in Canada centers on policies designed to protect the environment. There’s so many ways electronics can be reused and/or discarded in a responsible way. There’s no excuse to let these products end up in our landfills.
Using a Waste Management Company for E-Waste
There are some provincial electronic recycling programs out there and there are also waste management companies willing to take your electronic waste. These services were designed to fill the gap that exists in garbage collection as few municipalities will pick up electronics. If you don’t have a drop-off location in your local region, you may want to seek out services from a company specializing in electronic waste and disposal of unwanted electronics.
Returning your Electronics to Where you Bought Them
Some retailers and electronic manufacturers may have drop-off programs allowing customers to return their electronics for disposal. Some of the stores that have accepted electronics for recycling in the past include Best Buy, Staples, Apple, Bell, Telus, and others. We recommend checking in with them over the phone before bringing them a haul of electronics. If you can’t drop them off there, your manufacturer may be willing to take back their product.
Making a Donation
If your electronics are still useable, such as in the case of an older cell phone or computer, one of the best things you can do is to donate them to a local charity. That way, they can be given to individuals in need and continue to serve a purpose. Some Ontario charities are also accepting electronics for recycling. Consider checking with your local charities ahead of time to find out whether they are accepting anything like this.
Hiring an Electronics Waste Management Company
For anyone looking to make it fast, easy, and simple, hire a junk removal company. A waste management company like this can properly dispose of electronics, recycling what can be recycled, donating what can be donated, and ensuring what’s disposed of is done the right way. For large electronics like older TVs, stereo sound systems, and larger appliances, hiring a junk removal company can help in coordinating disposal. You won’t have to worry about a thing! Hauling away your old electronics, you’ll know they’re being disposed of in the most efficient way.
Increasing Amounts of E-Waste in Canada
When electronics waste is not handled properly, it hurts our environment and has long-term consequences. As e-waste continues to grow in Canada, this is an area of waste management that needs to be more carefully examined. Many municipalities have not acknowledged its importance and subsequently, have failed to establish policy relating to computer waste processing.
