Your Old Electronics are not Garbage
The Niagara Region recycles old electronics from residents at no charge. Instead of throwing out your old electronics, you can drop them off at one of Niagara Region's depots. Visit Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment recycling program for a list of acceptable items and drop off location.
Visit Do What You Can for a list of local retailers that also accept old electronics for recycling. If you have electronics still in good working order - donate them for reuse.
