End-of-Life Electronics

Whether you bought a new television or you need a new laptop, you will need to throw away your old devices. Electronics are banned from Nova Scotia landfills meaning no curbside pick up for these unwanted items.

Leftover paint or empty paint cans can be dropped off to be recycled at the Exchange through our program administered by ReGeneration. Check out their site for tips on buying and storing paint.

Unwanted Textiles - TEMPORARILY PAUSED

The Exchange collects items donated to our Pink Bin to be sorted and reused and repurposed rather than sending them to the landfill. All textile items can be reused or repurposed, it's just a matter of finding the right market.
