E-Waste Simcoe 2010

Monday, January 18th, 2010

We’re proud to announce that we will be working with the Rotary club to launch this year’s E-Waste Simcoe program with local schools. For the past two years this program has collected a total 200,000 Lbs. of e-waste, which is almost 10% of Barrie’s annual volume – in a single week! This program has an amazing impact on our city and we look forward to working with everyone, helping recycle e-waste and build awareness.

Please check out E-Waste Simcoe here, or call us for more information.
