In a nation where only 30% of household hazardous waste such as electronics, batteries, and paint is properly disposed of, Recycle Can is a novel application for locating approved recycling centers near you. With tens of thousands of locations around Canada for three common types of household hazardous waste, Recycle Can aims to make cleaner, safer communities across Canada.
WHY RECYCLE
In the technological age, many common electronics, batteries, and paint products contain toxic materials such as lead, mercury, and most commonly toxic fumes. These can get released into the environment when improperly disposed of such as in traditional landfills. Furthermore, recycling electronics helps recover minute quantities of rare metals such as gold and platinum used in modern computer circuitry.
