9 Electronic Waste Drop-Off Electronic Waste (E-Waste) needs special care. Computers & Accessories, Televisions, A/V Equipment!!! Unwanted electronics should never end up in landfills or in your garbage bag. Most of the parts steel, glass, copper, aluminum, plastics and precious metals, can be recovered and made into new products. Also, electronic equipment like computers, printers, and televisions can be reused, further cutting down on waste. Environmental Handling Fees (EHF) are charged on the sale and distribution of new electronics regulated in Ontario. Paid at the time of purchase, the fee reflects the program cost to collect, transport and responsibly recycle each electronic at the end of its useful life. When you purchase electronics, these fees cover the cost for making sure the electronics that no longer work or are out-of-use don t just end up in a landfill, but are safely and responsibly managed for both the valuable components they contain, as well as the substances of concern. Computer Equipment: Desktop & Laptops Computer Peripherals Printing Devices Wires and Cables Televisions: Standard Televisions LCD Screens Plasma Screens Projection Televisions A/V Equipment: Telephones Cellular Phones PDAs and Pagers Audio / Video Players Cameras Speakers / Amplifiers Radios / Tuners Bracebridge Transfer Stn.
