Ontario Electronic Stewardship Local Outlet @ Peterborough Square
 
Ben Prins and Tony Downer, through Community Living Peterborough, have entered into a partnership with Ontario Electronic Stewardship and have opened a site to recycle your electronics.  The duo have been working hard to create an advertising plan and get word out to local businesses that their site is open at Peterborough Square and they would love to take your old electronics, like computers, keyboards, televisions and microwaves. This is an opportunity for Ben and Tony to make money and help out the environment.  They can be reached at 705-741-8703 at Peterborough Square.

Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) is a not-for-profit industry organization that oversees the responsible reuse and recycling of end-of-life electronics through a program that includes hundreds of OES-approved collection sites and numerous other affiliate sites across the province.
