Here it is. Our full E-waste schedule for 2015, but first, maybe some clarification is required….

What is an E-waste event?

Electronic E-waste round up events are put on by Junk That Funk in efforts to reduce recyclable materials ending up landfills. E-waste round up events are designed to be a hassle free drop off site where you can assure your items will be 100% recycled!
At our free drop off events we accept the following
  • Televisions
  • Desktop computers and terminals
  • Monitors
  • Laptop computers
  • Desktop printers
  • Fax machines
  • Disk drives
  • CD-ROM drives
  • Keyboards and mice
  • Amplifiers, stereos, speakers, receivers
  • Cameras, digital cameras
  • Copiers, fax machines, scanners
  • Pagers, PDAs
  • Radios
  • Telephones, cellphones, answering machines
  • VCR and DVD players

Here’s a few examples of things we won’t take.

  • Fluorescent light bulbs and the CF bulbs are hazardous waste and we can not accept them.
  • Old style household thermostats with mercury switches are hazardous waste and we can not accept them.
  • House hold smoke detectors are no longer considered hazardous waste by the province and can be put out with the regular trash.
  • CD’s, VHS tape, music tapes etc can go in the BLUE box recycle bin.
  • Documentation can go in the BLACK box recycle bin.
Junk that Funk collected over 40 tons of E-waste in 2014 at our round up events. As the city stated on their website “E-waste accounts for 3000 tonnes or about 300 garbage trucks full of refuse added to our landfills each year”. Much of this e-waste consists of steel, glass, copper, aluminum, plastics and precious metals that can be recycled and reused.” So why not recycle it!! Recovering and recycling waste into new products has generally less impact than those materials made from virgin resources.
