We Now Accept Nonrechargeable Batteries

You read that right. We accept alkaline (AA, AAA, C, D, etc.) as well as lithium (button) batteries. The only stipulation is that they must not be leaking.

We accept Christmas lights for FREE

And you don't have to remove the bulbs. 

Yay! We were successful!!!!

Those of you who read the entire main page of our website (this page) will know where the Twenty-Twelve name originated and will also know why we claim success. If you haven't a clue what I'm saying, follow this link. See? Equipment didn't rise up against us so we must have been successful. Of course, we will keep up our vigilance because equipment is tricky.

Welcome to Our Redesigned Website

After several years of one style, we have redesigned our website to make it more useful to our customers and to make it more attractive. We hope you enjoy the time you spend perusing this offering. The site has been divided into several sections. Links to these sections are immediately below the logo and graphic at the top of every page.

Company Profile

image
Twenty-Twelve Electronics Recycling Inc. is a family-owned, federally-incorporated company whose owners strongly believe that we, as a society, must take responsibility for our use of the earth's resources. We decided to stop talking and start doing something about the issue.

The owners, Randy and Nancy, discussed electronics recycling for several years; but the market wasn't ready. In December 2005, the market appeared ready so we beat our heads against a wall trying to come up with a name and then incorporated and rented space at 14 Bexley Place. The doors first opened on the Recycling Centre in January 2006.

We continued to grow and branch out into new things. On April 1, 2009, we opened our Recycling Centre at 42 James Street in Smiths Falls.

On July 1, 2011, we moved the Bells Corners location to a larger facility at 6 Bexley Place. We also opened AS IS Stores in both the Bells Corners and Smiths Falls locations to facility reuse of some items before final destruction and recycling.

Our Mission

To keep toxic materials out of landfill sites and to divert waste from landfill sites into alternate streams wherever feasible while keeping these important resource available for reuse within Canada.

Origin of the Name

The name of the company came from a documentary called Ancient Prophecies, specifically an episode dealing with the Ancient Maya and the prediction that the world will end on December 21, 2012. In the episode electronic equipment rose up against its makers. At Twenty-Twelve we recycle equipment so it won't be able to rise up. Of course, we also have a strange sense of humour.
