WEEE Roundup Coming


Residents across the Rainy River district will get a chance to toss out all of that old electronic equipment in an environmentally safe way this month.

Ontario Electronic Stewardship will be hosting a collection day at the Fort Frances Public Works yard on September 18.

Executive Director Carol Hochu says its something they're doing across northwestern Ontario.

"There's good accessibility in the more major metro areas and big cities in Ontario," says Hochu, "but always a challenge in the north and in the more rural areas to get out there and get this stuff so we're doing bit of a northern Ontario sweep."

A list of all the items accepted can be found on the website http://www.dowhatyoucan.ca.
