Reusable toronto
Reusable Toronto is an initiative of local organizations, reuse champions, businesses, and community members, convened by the Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA). Together, we’re working to eliminate harmful disposables and champion a culture of reuse in Toronto through advocacy, policy change, community engagement, and on-the-ground solutions.
We’re inspired by a growing movement around the world, including the work of Upstream and non-profit led campaigns like ReusableLA, ReusableSF and ReusableNYC. These jurisdictions have begun to pass new regulations that promote reuse, such as requirements for reusable dishes when dining in. Visit their website to learn more.

Guardian Battery recycling drop off
Here is what Adam at Guardian Drugs says about why they collect used batteries: "We offer battery recycling to make it easier for members of our community to do the right thing. I believe if people are presented with a low barrier option they will make the best choice for our environment."
Guardian has been a long time supporter of Roncy Reduces and now the Roncy REmarket. Guardian is providing the used battery bins for the REmarket on June 7 from 10-3. Thanks Adam.
