E-waste Locations

In an effort to provide convenient drop-offs to our communities, Eco-Tech has partnered with organizations all throughout the Waterloo Region to aid with recycling electronic and battery waste. This initiative is part of our commitment to promoting sustainable practices and reducing the impact of e-waste on the environment. By collaborating with local organizations, we aim to create easily accessible locations where residents can responsibly dispose of their unwanted electronics, including everything from old smartphones and laptops to batteries that require special handling.

These partnerships not only streamline the recycling process but also educate the community about the importance of proper disposal. Many residents are unaware of the hazardous materials found in electronic devices, such as lead and mercury, which can leach into the environment if not disposed of correctly. Through information sessions and outreach programs, Eco-Tech and its partners strive to raise awareness about the potential dangers of e-waste and the benefits of recycling.

In addition to the physical drop-off locations, Eco-Tech maintains an online platform that offers information on how to recycle specific items and details about upcoming recycling events. This digital resource serves as a handy guide for residents seeking to declutter their homes while ensuring that their waste is handled responsibly.

As the demand for electronic devices continues to rise, so does the urgency of addressing the e-waste crisis. Our partnership with local organizations not only makes recycling accessible but also underscores the collective responsibility of our community in fostering sustainable practices. We invite all residents of the Waterloo Region to participate in this initiative and help us reduce e-waste, protect our environment, and build a greener future together.
