Looking for an environmentally sensitive and privacy ensured method to dispose of your unwanted computer equipment?

From Aug. 18 to 24, people are invited to drop off their unwanted computer equipment for recycling at Computation, 280 Jane St. Equipment can be dropped off between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on weekends.

Did you know that aside from the hazards that go along with burying electronics in landfills or shipping them overseas for disposal, approximately 1,000 litres of clean fresh water and 300 kilograms of fossil fuel equivalent are consumed in the mining, manufacturing, and distribution associated with a new computer?

The event is free, with the exception of a $10 recycling fee for monitors and $5 recycling fee for PCs (no fee for other equipment). All of the information present on systems will be securely destroyed. All of the equipment is diverted from landfill and processed locally.

Call 416-629-5667 or go to www.computation.to for more information.
