Company Profile
is a
privately-held, 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 toward the end of January 2006.
The company grew by 100% from year one to year two, and again in year three. We are continuing to grow
and branch out into new things. On March 8, 2008,
opened an Outlet Store to sell items that are not quite
ready for the scrap heap. On May 10, 2008, we had the grand opening of our Recycling Centre
at 121 Bruce Crescent in Carleton Place. On April 1, 2009, we opened our
Recycling Centre at 42 James Street in Smiths Falls. On June 26, 2010, we closed the Carleton Place location to focus our efforts on building our presence
in Ottawa. Lanark County will still be served by our Smiths Falls location.
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.
