Join us for a full day of action for the planet at this exciting indoor/outdoor event at the Burlington Centre! Bring your e-waste, items for the Repair Cafe, check out EV’s, get some free Aura EV Charging, participate in some eco-trivia and spin to win, and more!

The convenient Drive-Thru component will take place at the Guelph Line/Fairview St. parking lot at the Burlington Centre from 10am to 4pm where volunteers will gladly accept a variety of items to be properly recycled.

Crew members from the ERA (Electronic Recycling Association) will be on-site to accept computer and cell phone electronics, and a series of Terracycle Zero Waste bins will be located at the drive-thru station to accept more unique waste items not currently accepted in Halton Region’s recycling program.

Acknowledging – Honouring – Acting

In Burlington, our work with the community takes place within the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and
we recognize this land as being home and the traditional territory to Indigenous people since time
immemorial.

We honour all past and present First Nation, Métis and Inuit people, and we recognize their leadership in protecting and caring for Mother Earth. We join them in honouring and respecting the land, waters, plants, animals, four directions, and all of the wonderful elements of creation that exist.

BurlingtonGreen has much to learn from Indigenous People and we encourage everyone to continually learn from and about the Indigenous community where you live, and how we can each meaningfully honour the calls to action for Truth and Reconciliation.
