OES invites residents to drop off used electronics at Toronto Zoo this
weekend

TORONTO, April 16 /CNW/ - In honour of Earth Day, Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) invites Toronto residents to drop off used electronics at the Toronto Zoo this weekend and then stay to enjoy the "Party for the Planet" festivities. OES staff will be on site to collect electronic waste as part of the fun-filled weekend of activities and games to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. All Zoo visitors are urged to help the planet by bringing used, broken or unwanted electronic equipment for responsible reuse and safe recycling.
