The first-ever collection of electronic waste from the Rainy River district is being hailed a success.
A total of 46 pallets of old computers, televisions, cellphones and other old electronic equipment were collected during Saturday's event at the Fort Frances Public Works yard.
Executive Director with Ontario Electronic Stewardship Carol Hochu says centres in southern Ontario will now remove the hazardous materials and break down the other components for recycling.
The material collected filled two transport trailer units.
