Dual events happening at the Trisan Centre in Schomberg this weekend
Township of King, Ont. — In its commitment to environmental sustainability and efforts to divert waste from the landfill, King Township is hosting its annual Community Yard Sale and Electronic Waste Recycling event on Saturday, May 4 at the Trisan Centre, located at 25 Dillane Dr. in Schomberg.
From 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., bargain hunters can shop for hidden treasures and give them a new life at the indoor yard sale, located inside the gymnasium of the recreation facility. Unique finds range from small appliances to sports equipment and everything in between. The Schomberg Lions Club will be on-site selling shoppers a variety of refreshments including coffee, muffins, butter tarts, donuts and more. Entry is free.
The Electronic Waste Recycling event will happen concurrently outdoors in the parking lot, where residents can responsibly dispose of old electronics in a large receptacle bin. Electronic waste (e-waste) items such as televisions, computers, cameras, video game consoles, printers and DVD players are not collected through regular curbside pick-up and do not belong in the garbage or blue box. Electronic waste items can contain valuable resources and hazardous materials that need to be recycled, reused or disposed of responsibly.
Residents are required to unload their items and there is no cost for patrons to dispose of their electronics. Residents are reminded to protect their privacy by cleaning personal data and removing batteries from e-waste items before dropping them off.
The Township partners with Recycle My Electronics to run a series of e-waste recycling events at recreation facilities across King. The EPRA ensures collected materials are handled and recycled in a safe, secure and environmentally sound manner. In 2023, a total of 3,934 kilograms of electronic waste was collected as part of this program.
