E-Waste
Electronics recycling is at the core of PACE. We run multiple recycling projects from our E-Waste Centre, located in Downtown Penticton. PACE gratefully accepts donations of used electronics, such as laptops, computers, and accessories many of which we refurbish and re-purpose to sell at a low cost.

Donate today to our Workers Closet

Most of the projects that employ our workers require steel toed boots, and we want to ensure our workers have access to whatever they need to start working immediately. Donations of safety vests, work gloves, work socks, safety glasses and hardhats are also most appreciated
