“The YES Team was anxious to undertake a project to benefit the environment for Earth Day,” explains Richard Wyma, ERCA General Manager. “Responsibly recycling old electronics is a great way to benefit the Earth, while also supporting a great organization, CAW Local 200’s Computers for Kids.”
Tree planters and others are invited to collect their electronic waste and drop it off at ERCA’s Earth Day Tree Planting event on Sunday, April 22 from 10am – 2pm, at McHugh Park, located on Florence and McHugh, just east of the WFCU Centre.
“Everyone can stay and plant a tree to celebrate Earth Day while they’re there,” Wyma went on to say. The Earth Day celebration will include the public planting of 1500 trees at the park, kids’ crafts and activities, a fundraising barbeque and a rain barrel sale.
Rain barrels will also be available for $55 and must be pre-ordered at www.rainbarrel.ca/erca. The barrels can be pre-paid or customers can pay cash when they pick the barrel up at the event.
The Essex Region Conservation Authority is a community-based organization dedicated to protecting, restoring and managing the natural resources of the Windsor-Essex-Pelee Island region.
