The #ERA was delighted to be part of the BurlingtonGreen #ZeroWaste Drive-Thru event on Saturday, May 14th, 2022. This event helped the community of Burlington, ON repurpose household items and eliminate clutter from their homes and offices while helping the environment.
The convenient contact-free Drive-Thru component took place at the Fairview St. facing parking lot at the Burlington Centre where volunteers will gladly accept a variety of items to be properly recycled. Crew members from the ERA (Electronic Recycling Association) were on-site to accept computer and cell phone electronics, and other IT equipment.
Established in 2007, BurlingtonGreen is a community-driven, non-partisan, registered charity. Through awareness, advocacy and action initiatives, they work with all sectors to protect the environment, mitigate climate change and to create a healthier, more environmentally responsible Burlington.
They provide a dedicated voice for the environment to inform and influence public policy. Our work is based on research and a good understanding of the facts, presented with a solution focus. We collaborate with residents, youth, businesses, organizations, and the government to ensure the rights of the environment are respected.
