REAL operates an electronics waste depot on the REAL Deal site. You can bring your outdated or non-working computers, TVs, stereo equipment, cell phones etc. to us during store hours. Our staff will pack them into the big black bin you see to the left of the customer doors. The Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) ensures they are recycled responsibly in Ontario. NEW! We are now accepting most electric appliances, they do not need to be electronic. Certain things are still not allowed, including vacuum cleaners and anything containing coolant (dehumidifiers, water coolers, mini fridge, air conditioners). Nothing over 50 pounds please, we don’t have the equipment to move it. You can set electric items beside the bin or against the wall but please do not put them in front of the bin doors, that’s just silly. Call us if you aren’t sure at (613) 283-7999, contact us via email, see Recycle My Electronics or our own electronics waste pages.
