Reuse or Recycle?

« Return to "Consumer Information"

Want a responsible solution for getting rid of old, no longer used televisions, computers, monitors and printers?

Since August 1, 2007, the Electronics Stewardship Association of British Columbia (ESABC) stewardship program has been recycling computers, computer monitors, printers, fax machines, and televisions for recycling through Return-It Electronics collection sites across the province. As of July 1, 2010, the ESABC stewardship program has expanded to include more regulated products. Managed by Encorp Pacific (Canada), the program was developed by ESABC, a not-for-profit, local organization of industry and retailers, to address e-waste issues by keeping these products out of landfills, allowing the resources to be recovered and hazardous materials to be properly disposed of.
