Is your old desktop tower sitting in the corner of your room, unused but as an oversized doorstop? Maybe your bedside cabinet is filled to the brim with cracked cellphones and what appears to be your old beeper from the 90’s?
Don’t worry. The wait is over! You can now recycle your old electronic devices at any one of 40 authorized drop-off centres around the province as part of a new recycling program organized by Recycle NB.
