Halton Region recognized for electronics recycling Halton Region could teach other municipalities a thing or two about recycling old electronics. The Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) has named it a top municipal electronic recycler for working with its residents to divert electronic waste away from the landfill. A total of 483,080 kg of unwanted electronics was collected at the Halton Waste Management Site last year. Since 2002, the Region has offered e-waste recycling to residents and teamed up with OES in 2009 to provide them with a free location at its landfill site to drop off the unwanted items. Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr said the recognition by the OES, a not-for-profit organization responsible for delivering reusing and recycling electronics programs, is a reflection of the community's commitment to waste diversion and protecting the environment. "Halton residents are among the best in the province when it comes to participating in recycling and composting programs," said Carr. "Their efforts keep waste out of the landfill and help to extend the life of this very valuable resource four more years a savings of $15 million for taxpayers." "We're very proud of all Ontarians who have participated in municipal e-waste events and utilized drop-off locations," said OES executive director Jonathan Spencer. "We are especially proud of our top municipalities like Halton Region whose efforts have raised the standard for the entire province.
