Recycling

Electronics
Personal computers and household electronics are improving at a rapid pace. However our pursuit of the latest in electronic products generates a great deal of waste that can be dangerous if not managed properly.The typical personal computer or laptop may contain toxic substances, like dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, cadmium, radioactive isotopes, and mercury. Moreover, even broken computers and electronics contain useful components that can be recycled or refurbished.
That’s where Mother Earth Recycling comes in.
We specialize in the recycling of electronics and electrical equipment. Our staff have been doing this for more than 27 years and are considered by many to be the largest and most trusted electronics recyclers in Manitoba.
MER recycles all electronic equipment, regardless of where it came from or how old it is. Mother Earth Recycling has no restrictions on the type, or source of the electronics you need recycled. Mother Earth accepts all electronics, although some items may have a disposal or collection fee.
The following is a partial list of items that may not be accepted by other recyclers but Mother Earth Recycling would be happy to receive:
