Last year, Ontario recycled 76,000 tonnes of electronic waste only job. “For myself what it comes down to is making money,” said Keelan. “I saw that the landfill was running out of space so I got the idea to ask my friends if they would give me their devices for free so I could try to resell them or sell the parts. When I’m done with them, nothing goes into the landfill.” Even the WDO and EWSWA promote the reusing and re-gifting of old electronics. On the Recycle Your Electronics website you can read about official reuse and refurbishment collectors in your area and watch fun videos on how to re-gift )ѡ
