Recycle My Electronics programs offer safe, secure electronics recycling for Canadian residents, businesses, and the environment.
As an award-winning, industry-led, not-for-profit organization, the Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) has been setting the standard for safe, secure electronics recycling in Canada for the past 15 years through its Recycle My Electronics programs.
Recycle My Electronics programs have recycled over 1.4 million tonnes of electronics, diverting them from landfill and illegal export. Whether it’s providing residents with convenient drop-off locations or offering customized electronics recycling solutions for businesses, EPRA helps Canadians make a positive impact on the environment. When it comes to recycling electronics and small countertop appliances, the message is simple: Bring It.
A national collection network
EPRA’s Recycle My Electronics programs continue to make electronics recycling convenient for Canadians, regardless of where they live. With an extensive network of over 3,200 drop-off locations across the country, the programs make recycling electronics safe, secure, and easy for both residents and businesses.
“Recycle My Electronics programs offer accessible electronics recycling through a national network of approved drop-off locations, as well as special collection events and business pick-ups,” says Cliff Hacking, the founding president and CEO of EPRA. “Accessibility is central to our mandate, whether it’s in an urban centre or a remote community.”
Responsible recycling and compliance
Recycling with EPRA ensures devices are diverted from landfills and recycled responsibly for sustainable material recovery, including plastic, glass, gold, silver, and copper, all of which can be recovered and reused without losing their properties and reintegrated back into the manufacturing supply chain.
Many Recycle My Electronics programs are also expanding their list of obligated products accepted for recycling. This ensures diversion of e-waste from landfills and contributes to the circular economy.
EPRA has been named a SERI Champion of Electronics Sustainability, a designation that highlights the company’s industry-leading commitment to responsible electronics reuse, recycling, and circularity. The recognition reflects EPRA’s longstanding work to integrate the Responsible Recycling (R2) standard into its recycling operations, ensuring used electronics are managed with environmental and data security compliance.
