“Go Green”
Recycling Program

In Alberta, recycling is the most effective way to leave healthy “footprints” on our environment for generations to come. Now your recycling efforts can help support the many valuable programs and services offered by the Cerebral Palsy Association in Alberta.

Recyclable items such as cell phones:

Are generally disposed of within 18 months
Contain hazardous materials which contribute to global pollution
75% of Alberta households have cell phones
By the summer of 2008 over 2.5 million cell phones could be unnecessarily disposed of in our provincial landfills.

The “Go Green” recycling program introduces a fantastic way to recycle home and office materials. Cell phones, ink jet cartridges, PDAs and laptops can now be collected in one single “Go Green” collection box.

At no cost to you or your business, a light weight collection box will be delivered. Once the box is full, pick up is only a phone call away! A member from CPAA will come out, collect the box and leave a replacement box in its place. The use of these collection boxes assists in the redirection of unnecessary waste from our landfills, reduce methane gas emissions and conserve our natural resources.

Revenues from “Go Green” will go towards funding valuable programs within the province and help to create a “Life without Limits” for Albertans affected by cerebral palsy and other disabilities.

For more information or to request a “Go Green” collection box, please contact by email marianne@cpalberta.com or call (780) 477-8030 toll free 1-888-477-8030
