Samsung Canada, proud partner of the Canadian Olympic Team, will be kicking off the Samsung Passion for E-Recycling Challenge in Edmonton, Alberta tomorrow.
Held during National Waste Reduction Week, this exciting initiative is designed to help jump-start community efforts to safely and responsibly recycle electronic waste. Through this program, over $50,000 in Samsung technology grants will be donated to participating Edmonton public schools and community organizations.
