'Rewards for Recycling' Program to divert 90 truckloads of material from landfill
Oct. 31, 2008
Canadian Tire and the Ontario Power Authority reward Ontarians for their used air conditioners, dehumidifiers and halogen floor lamps
TORONTO, Oct. 16 /CNW/ - As part of its ongoing commitment to providing
customers with eco-friendly products and services, Canadian Tire with support
from the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) is rewarding Ontarians for recycling
their used air conditioners, dehumidifiers and halogen lamps. The Rewards for
Recycling program takes place at Canadian Tire stores across Ontario the
weekends of October 18th and 19th and October 25th and 26th. Residents who
return a used air conditioning unit or dehumidifier will receive a $25 gift
card, while those returning a halogen floor lamp will be rewarded with a $10
gift card.
The Rewards for Recycling program will not only divert close to 90
truckloads of product from landfill, but will also result in total gross
energy savings of approximately 10.38 million KWh, an estimated equivalent of
the total consumption of over 12,200 households.
"The Rewards for Recycling program is one of the many ways Canadian Tire
is helping to make a positive impact on the environment," says Reg McLay,
senior vice president, marketing and business development. "By working with
the OPA we are able to reward Ontarians for their environmental efforts and
deliver on our commitment of providing our customers with eco-friendly
products and services."
"Developing a 'culture of conservation' means responsibly managing all
elements associated with saving energy," says Paul Shervill, vice president
for conservation and sector development, OPA. "We commend Canadian Tire for
encouraging energy savings and for promoting sound environmental behaviour
that considers the full lifecycle of consumer technology, including its proper
disposal."
The Rewards for Recycling program takes place at more than 200 Canadian
Tire stores across Ontario. Store locations and business hours can be obtained
by visiting canadiantire.ca.
