Recycle and Help Out a Charity

What should be done with your old toner and inkjet cartridges, laptops, cell phones and digital cameras? The right thing to do is to recycle them and prevent the improper disposal of them by diverting them from entering landfills where they can take up to 1000 years to decompose.

You can also choose to go one step better and choose to help both the environment and the Canadian Diabetes Association by donating your recyclable items. The Canadian Diabetes Association has two programs in place that provide a convenient and environmentally friendly way to donate household items and electronics – Clothesline and Think Recycle.

The funds raised when these items are donated help to advocate for people with diabetes, further professional education, inform and educate Canadians about Diabetes, fund research programs and initiatives such as camps for kids.

Besides these recyclable items, the Canadian Diabetes Association also accepts these other items:

• Digital Cameras
• Cell Phones
• Inkjet Cartridges
• Toner Cartridges
• Clothing
• Cloth based items
• Footwear
• Books
• Toys
• Kitchenware
• Electronics

Items can be dropped off at their new location at 1054 Ellis Street (#102) or you can visit www.diabetes.ca/dropbox to find a local donation box. Alternatively, you can call 1-800-505-5525 to schedule a free pickup from the convenience of your home or business.  Ink and toner cartridges should be in sealed in a separate plastic bag.
