By reducing or recycling e-waste, this keeps potentially toxic materials, like mercury and lead, out of landfills. Bluewater Recycling Association accepts e-waste where they breakdown the components and properly dispose of the electronics. Computers, monitors, laptops, printers, and TVs can be dropped off at their Huron Park facility during normal business hours free of charge.
