Other Ways To Give

Donate E-Waste

Round-up your electronic items and recycle them with Think Recycle! Think Recycle is a cost-free environmental fundraising program that will help The Mississauga Food Bank raise funds by collecting unwanted electronics, including cell phones, print cartridges, laptops, and digital cameras, for responsible disposal through refurbishment, recycle and reuse.

How it Works For Companies:

• Visit www.thinkrecycle.com, register and select The Mississauga Food Bank in the “Pay Funds to” section.
• Collect a minimum of 10 electronics (cell phones, print cartridges, laptops, digital cameras) and pack them in a cardboard box.
• Request your pre-paid shipping label online, attach it to your box and send it back to Think Recycle
• The funds you earn will be donated directly to us!

How it Works For Individuals:

• Drop by The Mississauga Food Bank with your donation of electronics, and we’ll take care of the rest!
• If you are interested in recycling a larger volume of items, customized solutions are available.

Donate Vehicles

If you have an end-of-life vehicle, why not donate it through www.charitycar.ca and have the proceeds come to the food bank?! Environmentally-friendly car disposal, a donation to the food bank, and a tax receipt—what could be better?

How it Works:

• Visit www.charitycar.ca and request a vehicle pickup
• Answer questions about your vehicle, such as, color, make or model
• Tansfer the vehicle registration over to your local network member
• Collect the receipt of pick-up for your vehicle
