RPRA Launches a New ‘Where to Recycle’ Map

RPRA recently launched a new ‘Where to Recycle’ map.

Ontarians can use this resource to search for locations to recycle:

Batteries
Electronics
Household Hazardous Waste
Lighting and
Tires

There is also general information about recycling these materials in Ontario.

Where to Recycle features public recycling locations for all producer responsibility programs that RPRA oversees (except Blue Box) and displays data reported to RPRA in near real-time. Blue Box materials are not included as that program is serviced by a residence-focused collection system.

The new map replaces RPRA’s previous ‘Find a Collection Site’ map, which only displayed locations for dropping off used tires.

Search Results: Electronics Depot in a 10 km Radius of Barrie
