Televisions, computers and other electronic items contain hazardous materials like lead, mercury and cadmium. They pose a threat to the environment if buried in a landfill.
The good news is that many of the materials in these electronics can be recycled at an Eco Station or the Edmonton Waste Management Centre.
All e-waste delivered to Eco Stations and the Edmonton Waste Management Centre (EWMC) is processed by Quantum Lifecycle.
