Concordia offers electronic waste recycling to both on-campus departments and the community at large. Learn what is and isn't accepted and download our handy one-page guide.
Electrobac bins will soon be removed from Concordia campuses as our contract with Electrobac comes to an end.
Community members have until December 31, 2024 to drop off their items. Afterward, you can consult the list of publicly available bins to find an Electrobac near you.
