Did you know?
So much of what we consume every year goes to waste. Quantum is looking to change that.
- E-waste has been called the “Urban Mine” because of its high concentration of valuable materials. It’s estimated that electronic waste contains up to 50 times more gold per ton than ore from mines.
- Improper management of e-waste releases 98 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year, making it a major contributor to climate change.
- More than 757,000 tons of e-waste are generated in Canada each year, only about 101,000 tons of which are properly disposed of.
- The Global E-Waste Monitor predicts that global e-waste will reach 74 million metric tons by 2030, nearly doubling what was produced in 2015.

Recycling Your E-Waste in Guelph
The city of Guelph is in the midst of a growth spurt, and with good reason. The Royal City boasts both lower unemployment and a lower cost of living than nearby Toronto, along with beautiful bike trails and picturesque parks surrounding its historic buildings. Recycling your e-waste is an easy way for residents to help maintain this natural beauty, reducing the hazardous waste that’s sent to landfills not just in Guelph but across Canada.
Computer Recycling in Guelph
Many people don’t realize how many resources are involved in making a computer. Just a single computer chip takes up to 3.5 pounds of fossil fuels and 9 gallons of water to produce, not to mention the gold and metals that make up the chip itself. The plastic, metals, glass, and chemicals that are in laptops and accessories like monitors, batteries, mice, and keyboards can also be harmful to the environment if thrown away–and are far more valuable if they’re repurposed through recycling.
Cell Phone Recycling in Guelph
Roughly 94% of Canadian residents own a smartphone, and the typical person replaces their phone every 1-2 years. This makes cell phones one of the fastest-growing types of e-waste. The lithium batteries used in smartphones can also cause problems in landfills, prone to exploding under the wrong conditions, or leaching their chemicals into the water and soil. By recycling these devices with Quantum, you can ensure your old phones are disposed of safely.
Recycling Business E-Waste in Guelph
The thriving manufacturing, technology, and agriculture sectors in the city of Guelph are part of what make it such a great place to find work. These industries also use a lot of machinery and electronics to produce goods and serve their customers, and that equipment can be trickier to dispose of than the devices owned by an individual. This is why Quantum offers pickup collection services that are free for businesses with a lot of items to recycle. Whether you bring your items to one of our dropoff locations or have us retrieve them right from your office, we’ll dispose of e-waste from Guelph businesses (and any data they contain) in a manner that protects both the environment and your intellectual property and customer information.
Make a Global Impact by Recycling in Guelph
Canada is one of the world’s largest e-waste producers, and not all of that waste stays in the country. Less reputable companies will often ship electronic waste to developing nations, making Ontario’s trash a global problem. Recycling your e-waste can make a big difference, helping to limit the number of devices that end up in the garbage both in Guelph and around the world.
Quantum Helps People and Businesses in Guelph Recycle E-Waste
Computers and phones aren’t the only things that count as e-waste. Anything with circuit boards or batteries needs to be disposed of in the right way. This includes wearables, smart appliances, and office equipment like printers and photocopiers. The good news is, Quantum can recycle all of it. Whether you’re upgrading the TV and speaker system in your home theater or have a drawer full of old chargers and batteries you don’t know what to do with, Quantum’s collection locations and pick-up services are here to help.
