Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex will be holding two simultaneous Electronic Waste and Small Appliance Recycling events on Saturday, April 5, 2014.

Residents of Windsor-Essex County are invited and encouraged to support this effort by bringing their unwanted, outdated and obsolete electronics and small appliances to either of the Home Depot locations in Windsor.  Residents can recycle devices such as computers and peripherals, laptops, monitors, keyboards, copiers, VCRs, DVD players, printer/fax machines, phones, cell phones, pagers, radios, televisions, microwaves, toasters, can openers and toaster/convection ovens.

 WHEN:                  Saturday, April 5, 2014 from 9am -4pm

WHERE:                Home Depot (South) 1925 Division Rd., Windsor ON
Home Depot (East)6570 Tecumseh Rd. E., Windsor ON

Unwanted electronics and appliances should never end up in landfills.  Most of the steel, glass, copper, aluminum, plastics and precious metals in electronic products can be removed and made into new products.  Many computers, printers and televisions can be reused, further cutting down on waste.

Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex is encouraging residents to be environmentally friendly and to take advantage of this free, safe, recycling event.

For a full list of acceptable electronic and appliance items for recycling, please visit www.habitatwindsor.org and click on ‘E-Waste’ under the ‘ReStore’ page.
