Take a slice out of your spring cleaning, join Pizza Pizza by recycling your electronics this Earth Month
Slices for Devices recycling program helps the environment and children's hospitals
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/03/17 -- Pizza Pizza has its green thumb out to help Canadians kick start their spring cleaning as part of the company''s annual Slices for Devices campaign. Pizza lovers are invited to drop off eligible electronics devices at any participating location and Pizza Pizza will trade it for a free slice of pepperoni or cheese pizza throughout the month of April.
Pizza Pizza is accepting small end-of-life electronic devices, including smart phones, digital cameras and mp3 players. With the help of Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) and Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES), the devices will be recycled safely and securely, with proceeds from the process donated to Pizza Pizza''s Slices for Smiles Foundation, supporting Children''s Miracle Network.
"In this day and age, electronics are so easily attainable and we''re constantly upgrading our devices," said Pat Finelli, Chief Marketing Officer for Pizza Pizza. "Not many people know how to properly dispose of them, so we''re pleased that we can help make it easy with Slices for Devices, where you can recycle your electronics, eat a delicious slice and help a great cause."
Pizza Pizza also encourages companies and schools to participate by safely recycling their large and small electronic items, including monitors, laptops, computer towers and IT equipment. Companies and schools will receive a gift card that can be used towards a school pizza lunch or company-wide pizza party. The gift card amount will be determined by the volume of electronic waste collected. Companies and schools looking to participate in the corporate program can sign up online at .
All traditional Pizza Pizza restaurant locations across Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia will participate in the Slices for Devices program. Since its launch in 2004, the program has diverted over 17,000 electronic devices from landfills.
