[Ottawa] Take It Back! Program

(I posted this as a response in another thread but I think it is worthy of it's own thread...)

I'm not sure how many other cities have a similar program but Ottawa has a program they call "Take It Back!" on their website which provides an extensive list of places that will take be various recyclable items.

Take It Back! Program

The programs lists where to take back everything from batteries to fur coats (!?) to computers ...and on and on.

For computers specifically, the list has grown over the last year or two - there are many places that will take them back to recycle.

The most famous of these in Ottawa is of course Computer Recyclers who have been taking back desktops for Ottawa residents for a long time and make sure that nothing ends up in a landfill.
