Campus e-waste program
E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream on the planet. Although it represents two per cent of trash in landfills, it equals 70 per cent of overall toxic waste.
We're doing our part to recycle e-waste responsibly. Electronic waste is collected by an Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) approved transporter and taken to an OES-approved Recycler or Processing facility. OES ensures that end-of-life electronics are handled in a safe, secure, and environmentally sound manner.
