Old electronics help Habitat for Humanity projects Eddie Rwema

EMC news - Donating your old electronics could help Habitat for Humanity reach a goal of helping low-income families realize a dream of owning a home. The organization holds a yearround electronics collection at its two-Restore locations in Ottawa. All e-waste collected by Habitat for Humanity is recycled in Ontario by Sims Recycling Solutions through the Ontario Electronic Stewardship program. “Everything is recycled in an environmentally friendly and secure way,” said Myrna Beattie, director of retail operations with Habitat. “It doesn’t go on a truck to the U.S. or in a container to a Third World country somewhere. It is all done within Ontario. Beattie said every purchase made at their Restores and the e-waste collected under OES programs supports Habitat for Humanity in the capital region as it helps local families achieve the dream of home ownership. “All the proceeds from the Restores go towards supporting pro-
grams of Habitat for Humanity,” said Beattie. Ottawa residents can drop off old computers, monitors, televisions, cellphones and other electronics for recycling at Habitat ReStores on either Enterprise Avenue or Walkley Road. The service is free and open to the public. “The message we would like to get out to the general public is there is a lot of other people doing recycling, but ask your recycler where does the product go, and if they can’t tell you then you can be sure it is not recycled in a way that we all should be wanting our electronics to be recycled,” said Beattie. Besides helping build homes for low-income families, Habitat for Humanity is also concerned about the environment, said Beattie. “Everything that you see here would be in a landfill if they weren’t here,” she said. “For sure our mandate is to build homes but we are also very concerned about our world and the environment and we would like to make our contribution as much as we can.” For more information, visit www. habitatncr.com.
