POPSOttawa - Electronic waste depot - Sunday, October 28, 2007 Only residential electronic waste will be accepted. TV sets larger than 28" will not be accepted. Members of the Centre de formation en enterprise et recuperation (CFER) of Gatineau are disassembling the computer systems so they can be completely recycled. The CFER is a non-profit organization where teens and young adults are taught specific job skills and learn proper work habits in preparation for the work force. Other electronic waste, including TVs, VCRs, DVD players, video game systems and cell phones can also be dropped off. These items will be recycled at a small cost to residents - $2 apiece for most items, $4 for monitors and $5 for entire computer systems and TV sets (28" or less).

POPSchildren lost the right to roam in 4 generations The article reflects our changing habits and our relationship with our environment. I agree completely about the necessity of outdoors, nature, plants, our good ol' earth. Ever been fishing? To a quiet golf course? A hike? How does it rejuvenate you? I am working on making my backyard a kind of restful, naturalist place for me to go and be refreshed.
