LG is committed to environmental responsibility, and that extends to ensuring the products you love, like your LG washer, are handled responsibly at the end of their life. Across Canada, LG actively participates in provincial recycling programs designed to keep end-of-life electronics and appliances out of landfills. Understanding these programs is a key part of being an environmentally conscious consumer.
These programs are supported through Environmental Handling Fees (EHFs), which are designed to cover the costs of collecting, transporting, and responsibly recycling products. It’s important to note that EHFs are not taxes, but rather fees dedicated to ensuring these crucial recycling initiatives can operate effectively.
To help you navigate the recycling options available, we’ve compiled a guide to provincial recycling programs across Canada where LG participates. Whether you are upgrading your LG washer or other electronics, this information will help you ensure responsible disposal.
