Making the Most of Recycling

Please do your best to treat items carefully to help us efficiently recycle them. The better the condition the more likely it can be refurbished and put back in use which helps reduce the amount of natural resources we use. Thanks for your help!

It is Ready Set Recycle's goal to prevent all cell phones, printer cartridges, rechargeable batteries and small electronics from entering landfills. Ready Set Recycle also helps raise awareness and support for the IWK Health Centre and Ecology Action Centre. Thank you for your interest and support.

Ready Set Recycle Corp. Began operations in January 2008 in Grande Prairie, Alberta. The company initially specialized in the collection and recycling of automotive batteries, rechargeable batteries, copper, aluminum, brass, and catalytic converters. Between January and August 2008, over 1.1 million pounds of lead/acid filled batteries was diverted from landfills and successfully recycled.

In September 2008 the company moved its' operations to Halifax, Nova Scotia and began working on a recycling program for cell phones and printer cartridges. Ready Set Recycle formed partnerships with the IWK Health Centre and the Ecology Action Centre to increase awareness of the program and make a contribution to vital initiatives. As an incentive for citizens to utilize our recycling program a portion of recycling revenues is donated to our partners. Locations of our current collection bins can be found by CLICKING HERE.

We currently have 60 drop locations in Nova Scotia and will double our reach by September 2010. To date we have recycled over 2000 cell phones, 5000 printer cartridges, and thousands of pounds of other small electronics and rechargeable batteries.

With continued support and interest from individuals like yourself we will help Nova Scotia to continue to be a leader in waste diversion and Corporate Social Responsibility.
