Got old, unused, or broken electronics collecting dust? Bring them by our neighbourhood e-waste drive and we’ll help make sure they’re responsibly recycled instead of ending up in a landfill.
This is a local initiative hosted by Orchard for our neighbours and community.
📅 Thursday Sep 24th | 📍 213 Sterling Road | 😊 Free, everyone welcome!
We’ll be set up in the green space behind the Orchard office, at the corner of Perth Ave and Sterling Road. Scroll down for a detailed map on where to find us.
We’ll be accepting devices from 4–7 PM on Thursday, September 24th. And if you have a smartphone or tablet that still works, bring it along—we might even be able to pay you for it! Read more here.
We’ll be there if it’s dry or there’s just a little drizzle! If its raining steadily, we'll have to reschedule. ☔
We’ll be set up in the green space directly behind the Orchard office from 4–7 PM.
Before we recycle your device, we’ll check whether it still has some life left in it. If your smartphone or iPad is eligible for resale we'll buy them from you! We accept:
🔋 Make sure your device turns on
Your device must turn on for us to assess it and potentially make you an offer. Please also charge your device.
☁️ Sign out of iCloud or your Google account
Please remove your Apple/Google account and any activation locks before you arrive.
We cannot accept a device for resale if it is still linked to your iCloud or Google account.

If your device qualifies, we’ll assess its condition and let you know what Orchard can pay you for it.
If it doesn’t qualify? That’s okay! We can still help make sure it’s responsibly recycled.
What happens to my e-waste?
Our recycling partner, Greentec, will make sure anything that’s reached the end of its life is securely and responsibly recycled. Devices are physically destroyed into small pieces, protecting any personal data left behind.
Smartphones and iPads we buy from you take a different path: after we take those in and test them for a final valuation over the next few days, we sell them to a new owner for a second life.
Reuse when we can, recycle when we can’t.
Electronic waste is easy to accumulate and not always easy to dispose of responsibly. This drive gives our neighbours a convenient place to clear out unwanted electronics while helping ensure those devices are reused or responsibly recycled.
That mission is closely connected to what we do at Orchard. We buy and sell quality used smartphones, extending the useful life of devices and giving Canadians another option besides buying new.
An RSVP is not necessary but in case you'd like a reminder, you can add our e-Waste drive to your calendar by clicking this link. You can also join our facebook event here.
Yes, just make sure it's signed out of their account before you bring it over.
