The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is pleased to partner with Zibi to deliver an Earth Day e-waste collection event across the Ottawa–Gatineau region.
This initiative reflects a shared commitment to environmental responsibility and community engagement. By bringing together a forward-thinking development such as Zibi with ERA’s national reuse and recycling programs, the event offers a meaningful opportunity for residents and businesses to manage end-of-life electronics in a secure and environmentally responsible manner.
About Zibi
Zibi is widely recognized as one of Canada’s most ambitious sustainable community developments, located on the Ottawa River between Ontario and Quebec. Designed with a strong focus on environmental performance, Zibi integrates renewable energy systems, sustainable infrastructure, and community-focused planning to create a low-carbon, future-ready urban environment.
What distinguishes Zibi is its long-term commitment to sustainability, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting responsible resource management, and fostering a vibrant, connected community. This approach aligns closely with ERA’s mission to reduce electronic waste and extend the lifecycle of technology through reuse and responsible recycling.
Event Details
The collection will take place on April 21, 2026, across two locations to improve accessibility for participants on both sides of the river.
As part of this Earth Day initiative, Zibi and the Electronic Recycling Association will host two coordinated e-waste drop-off sites in the Ottawa–Gatineau region.
Participants are encouraged to bring unwanted and unused electronics for responsible recycling and secure processing.
