Green Manitoba's E-Waste Round-Up

An outlet for residents to drop-off unwanted household electronic equipment has been set up at the City of Brandon's Landfill Site. As of this year, the City of Brandon will accept residential E-waste year around. For more information on Green Manitoba, please visit Green Manitoba's website.

Why Recycle Your Electronics?
While electronic equipment is safe to use, it contains some level of potentially toxic substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium and chromium and may contain other heavy metals and chemical flame retardants. These substances may have adverse affects on human health, or pollute groundwater, surface water or the air if electronic waste (E-waste) is illegally dumped or burned.

Brandon residents and businesses can recycle their e-waste for free. Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) is a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) authorized to operate the End-of-Life Electrical and Electronics Equipment stewardship program in Manitoba.

The Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) will be responsible for delivering the program in Manitoba to provide for the safe collection and recycling of electronics and electrical equipment.
