Alta Vista Public School is holding an E-Waste Collection and Clothing Drive Day
Date: Saturday, June 6 – the day of the Awesome Alta Vista Garage Sale
Time: 9:00 – 2:00
Location: Alta Vista Public School, 1349 Randall Ave
Details:
E-WASTE
In partnership with the Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES), we will be collecting all types of old electronics. These can be brought to the school parking lot and dropped in our bin. Please note … we are staying open an hour later than the garage sales are scheduled to stay open – so if you are holding a garage sale, and you have some electronics that you were not able to sell, please come and see us to get rid of them.
CLOTHING
OES has also set up a fantastic partnership with the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy (OFCP) for a “Clothes for the Common Good” campaign. OES has a proven record of diverting waste from our landfills, and they have expanded their e-waste collection initiative to include the OFCP’s used clothing program.
FUNDRAISING
And the school gets some fundraising dollars based on the weight of items collected – both e-waste and clothes.
There is so much awesomeness in this collaboration – it is a win-win-win!
