E-waste anchor

Eco-Tech recommends all data be eliminated off all storage devices prior to Recycling. Items such as iPhones, or Andriod phones can be easily wiped by performing a Factory Reset.

​

For computer private data on hard drives, we recommend using built-in Microsoft OS tools such as System Reset or Ubuntu Linux Default Settings to wipe them. Eco-Tech also offers a paid service for physical destruction using Certified equipment to eliminate data privacy breach.

 

​On January 1, 2021, Ontario's new EEE Regulation came into effect. The regulation designates IT, Telecom, Audio/Visual and lighting equipment as recyclable items under the RPRA EEE Program.

Through a network of collection and reuse partners who have met specific standards, Electronic items generated in Ontario are eligible for diversion from landfills.

​

Eco-Tech provides various no-cost recycling solutions for RPRA EEE E-waste, but please note that certain items may incur recycling fees. For items to qualify for the no-cost option, they must be free of any packaging materials, including bubble wrap, Styrofoam, and cardboard boxes, and should be clean and in their original, unpackaged form.
