Milton Canadian Champion:Get rid of your electronic waste for free starting Mon.
Local residents can get rid of their electronic waste for free starting next week as the Region holds its annual E-Waste Amnesty Week.
From Monday to next Friday citizens can take their old electronics to the Halton Waste Management Site between 8 a. m. and 4:30 p.m.
Acceptable e-waste includes items such as computers, computer monitors, computer accessories like keyboards, scanners, speakers and printers, televisions, VCRs, DVD players, remote controls, stereos, speakers, answering machines and MP3 players and associated cords.
“Discarded electronic waste is accumulating at an alarming rate worldwide,” said Regional Chair Gary Carr. “E-Waste Amnesty Week is an opportunity for residents to get involved to help divert unwanted electronics away from our landfill site.”
