Global Electric and Electronic Processing has opened its newest electronics recycling facility in Edmonton, Alberta. The new facility is expected to process around 30,000 metric tons of electronics a year.
"We’re excited to be working with the City of Edmonton, an international leader in waste management, and we look forward to a long-term collaboration built on our mutual priorities of innovation and environmental protection," said Victor Roth, president of GEEP Alberta.
The new facility is owned and operated by GEEP Alberta. It is a registered processor under Alberta’s electronics recycling program administered by the Alberta Recycling Management Authority. Edmonton’s two Eco Stations are registered collection sites for the provincial program.
Eco Stations accept all types of electronic and electrical household items, including toasters, can openers, power tools, vacuums, computers, monitors and almost anything with a cord or battery, for processing at the GEEP facility. There is no charge for bringing this material to Eco Stations.
The new facility is part of EcoVision Edmonton, Council’s vision for an environmentally sustainable city.
