            Hazardous Waste
            May 26, 2022

            May 26, 2022

            Electronic and Electrical Waste (E-Waste)

            May 26, 2022

            Electronic and Electrical Waste (E-Waste)

            Electronic and electrical products are accepted, free of charge, at the Raven Recycling E-waste Collection Depot.

            Most e-waste is not accepted at the Whitehorse Waste Management Facility.

            Why Recycle Electronics And Electrical Products

            Many of us have electronics that need to be disposed of. E-waste can contain toxic ingredients such as flame retardants, lead, mercury, nickel and cadmium and other heavy metals. When these materials end up in the landfill they have the potential to cause harm to the air we breath, the water we drink, and human health. Electronics also contain valuable metals such as gold and silver that can be salvaged to make new materials.

            E-waste has been added to the Yukon Governments Designated Materials Regulation. The addition of e-waste to the Designated Materials Regulation means that consumers pay a disposal fee at the point of purchase allowing end of life items to be taken to the e-waste collection depot for no additional fee.
