Bring in your old electronics and small appliances from cords and keyboards to gameboys and medical equipment. Our E-Waste Centre collects and sorts e waste to help reduce waste going to the landfill and to ensure that electronics are responsibly recycled.
Clear out your older computers, monitors and laptops collecting dust – PACE will gratefully accept your donation! Equipment donations will be refurbished whenever possible, and resold at budget-friendly prices for families who need them.

“The Public should know that the PACE board is composed of people just like them who care a whole lot. And that’s how these things take off! Sky’s the limit with everyone’s ideas. Large boards have a high impact in the community; more ideas and more people to see it through.”

“PACE has changed in many ways in the 2 years I’ve been here. One thing I’ve noticed is that the business E-Waste Pickup event has gotten more attention. It is awesome to help these businesses out and get donations for the sales/retail side of PACE.”

“PACE has been a supportive partner to the ‘Piers for Peers’ program for over a year. We appreciate the flexibility, supportive and inclusive approach that PACE fosters as well as the opportunity to provide our peers with an introduction to employment.”

“I am proud to be a part of PACE because PACE recognizes that conventional work isn’t for everybody and that it is OKAY! Great to see organizations that offer ‘non-conventional’ work and are flexible with their scheduling.”
Leanne O’Grady
PACE Board Member
“It is amazing to work with PACE, who employs people with barriers, to bring people back into the work force! Everyone takes such pride in their work!”
Wendy Bennett

“Something that everyone should know about PACE is that every dollar spent at PACE goes to the people. There is no one person that benefits from PACE doing well. It truly is a team and one that’s devoted to helping and assisting its people as much as it can.”

“As a tax payer you want your current landfill to last as long as possible! The cost alone to start a new landfill would cost taxpayers millions of dollars. PACE is doing some very important things to keep this place (Campbell Mountain Landfill) alive.”

“I’ve received many compliments about the TV pallets that PACE does; ‘best stacked pallets that they pick up’; ‘they are balanced perfectly’; ‘never falls over’.”

The company I work for (The Battery Doctors) besides picking up or recycling products, we also collect a number of dangerous hazardous waste products. Without companies like PACE to collect and sort the material, the hazardous products would most likely be deposited in our landfills where a large number of items are biodegradable.”

“The Public probably doesn’t realize the reduction of mattresses per year that PACE has done. If PACE had not disassemble and recycled the mattresses & box springs, the air space the mattresses could have taken up could be compared to the size of a hockey arena!”
