Market Mall has partnered with The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) for an E-waste Collection Event in honour of Earth Day. If you’re like us you’ve probably updated your technology and electronics over the years. But what do you do with all the unused electronics you’ve collected? We’ve become overwhelmed with all the old electronics we have at home like old computers and old cellphones. They’ve just piled up around our home because we didn’t know how to dispose of them. The other worry is how do we get rid of these items without our personal data getting compromised
On April 22, 2022 you can drop off your unwanted electronics and the ERA will work to refurbish collected items. It’s also a great time to donate right now as most of us are Spring Cleaning and we of course want to save the planet right now! These donations go towards helping get important items like laptops into the hands of those that need them most. Media is invited to attend.
Date: April 22, 2022
Time: 11am-3pm
Location: Market Mall 2325 Preston Ave S, Saskatoon, SK S7J 2G1 (Near Market Mall Auto in Parking Lot)
