Do you have old, obsolete computer equipment lying around the house or garage taking up space and collecting dust? Computation has a suggestion for you. If you bring in your unwanted computer equipment from March 22 – March 28 a proportion of the computer systems collected will be refurbished and donated to families affiliated with Big Brothers and Sisters of Toronto. And you’ll be helping the environment as well. Approximately 1,000 litres of clean fresh water, 20 Kg of chemicals, and 300 Kg of fossil fuels are consumed in the mining, manufacturing, and distribution associated with a new computer. Recycling makes sense.

Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Toronto, a volunteer based mentoring program matches adults over the age of 18 to children between the ages of 6 and 18 in one-to-one mentoring relationships. Believe it or not Big Brothers of Toronto was founded in 1913 and they have had fabulous success. A child with a Big Brother or Big Sister is less likely to drink or use drugs, is less likely to skip school, and more likely to achieve higher grades.

Drop off you old equipment at the Computation offices located at 280 Jane
Street, between Bloor and Annette from 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM Monday - Friday and from 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM on weekends. This event is for residential quantities only. Businesses with large quantities should contact the company for more information. A $5.00 recycling fee for each monitor is required.
