WHY RECYCLE

Most electronic devices contain toxic substances such as lead, mercury and other heavy metals that, if not disposed of correctly, can pose a health risk to people and/or damage wildlife habitat. By bringing your outdated, defective, or unwanted electronic devices to Tyndale for recycling you can ensure that they will be kept out of the landfill and illegal international trade.

WHERE TO RECYCLE

E-waste recycling bins are located in the sub-basement E100 to allow for convenient disposal of small to medium sized items such as batteries, cell phones or computer monitors.
