About Burnaby and E-Waste
Did you know?

- E-waste around the world is more than 41.8 million tonnes, which represents tens of millions of dollars in potentially reusable resources. That’s why recycling is so important.
- The 2,327,550 lbs. of e-waste generated in Burnaby each year poses a real threat to the environment as the city continues to keep pace with new technology.

Smartphone Recycling in Burnaby
Smartphones contain valuable materials including gold, silver, and lithium batteries. Without proper recycling, these resources go to waste. Furthermore, should they wind up in landfills, the lithium batteries in smartphones pose risks of fire and explosion. We work with Burnaby businesses and municipalities to make smartphone recycling convenient. Quantum is also fully certified, so you can rest assured any personal data is properly destroyed and your smartphones are recycled responsibly.
