Before I share information about our upcoming collection events, I'd like to pause for a moment.
I'm enjoying my summer vacation, but it's hard not to think about the forest fires happening in Northern Ontario right now. My thoughts are with everyone who has been affected, especially the families, firefighters, and communities working through such a difficult time. I hope things improve soon.
Now, onto some good news!
Alex and I have scheduled three new electronics collection events in Richmond Hill. If you have old electronics collecting dust at home, we'd love to help give them a second life through the Electronics Recycling Association (ERA).

Thanks to everyone who has supported our collections so far. Every device donated helps reduce e-waste, and through ERA, working devices can be securely wiped, refurbished, and donated to Canadians who need them.
Hope to see you at one of our upcoming events!
