♻️ Zero Waste Drop-Off is back—and it’s time to give your old electronics a better ending! 💚 Electronic waste contains valuable materials—but when it’s tossed in the trash, it can release harmful substances into the environment and waste resources that could be recovered and reused.

BurlingtonGreen @burlingtongreen.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

This Thanksgiving, we’re feeling grateful for everyone who takes action to care for Burlington’s environment — from planting trees and picking up litter to making thoughtful everyday choices for the planet. Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend from the BurlingtonGreen team! 🍂

BurlingtonGreen @burlingtongreen.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Think our Zero Waste Drop-Off is just for e-waste? Think again ♻️ TerraCycle bins are especially useful because they accept items that are typically too complex for curbside recycling, helping divert materials from landfill and ensuring they’re properly processed and repurposed.

Why? Bamboo is a fast-growing, renewable plant that can be used as an alternative to wood-based fibres in everyday products like toilet paper. Making a small switch can be one way to think about the resources behind the products we use every day.
