We Now Accept Small Appliances and "White" Goods

On February 25, 2011, we changed our status with the Ontario Electronic Stewardship program from "collector" to "generator." This allowed us to develop a relationship with one of their processors, MIDA RPM of Stoney Creek. This change means we have expanded our categories of items for recycling to include small appliances and "white" goods. For more information on what falls into these categories, please see our price list.

All of our electronic material now goes directly to the processor rather than through the Stewardship distribution system. MIDA RPM is a "processor" under the Stewardship program, so the secure, environmentally-sound, and Ontario-based processing that we have always provided has not changed.

Our Mission

To keep toxic materials out of landfill sites and to divert other waste from landfill sites into alternate streams wherever feasible while keeping these important resources available for reuse within Canada.

Partnerships

Twenty-Twelve Electronics Recycling Inc. () has partnered with MIDA RPM of Stoney Creek (near Hamilton, Ontario) to provide recycling services as part of the Ontario Electronic Stewardship program. For more information about the program, please see www.recycleyourelectronics.ca.

The secure, environmentally-sound, and Ontario-based processing that we have always provided has not changed.

Company Profile

is a family-owned, federally-incorporated company whose owners strongly believe that we, as a society, must take responsibility for our use of the earth's resources. We decided to stop talking and start doing something about the issue.

The owners of discussed electronics recycling for several years; but the market wasn't ready. In November 2005, the market appeared ready so we beat our heads against a wall trying to come up with a name and then incorporated and rented the space at 14 Bexley Place in December of 2005. The doors first opened on the Recycling Centre in January 2006.

  is continuing to grow and branch out into new things. On April 1, 2009, we opened our Recycling Centre at 42 James Street in Smiths Falls. On February 25, 2011, we changed out relationship with the Ontario Electronic Stewardship program to develop a relationship with one of their processors, MIDA RPM. The only change is that all of our material now goes directly to the processor rather than through the Stewardship middlemen.

On June 30, 2011, moved to a larger facility at 6 Bexley Place, next door to the original space at 14 Bexley Place. We will open AS IS Stores  in both locations in the near future to facilitate reuse of some items before final destruction and recycling.

The name of the company came from a documentary called Ancient Prophecies, specifically, an episode dealing with the Ancient Maya and the prediction that the world will end on December 21, 2012. In the episode, electronic equipment rose up against its makers. At we recycle equipment so it won't be able to rise up. Of course, we also have a strange sense of humour.
