The Beat Goes Green

At The Beat Goes On, the very nature of our business is recycling!
We buy unwanted items from our customers & resell them!
However, we do recognize the need to do more. Here are some of our practices already in place:

CD & DVD Cases-

A large percentage of the cases that come in the store are not in re-sellable condition. We use whatever parts of the cases we can & recycle old cases in 2 ways:

Our stores* keep a box of “free used cases” for customers to take. Broken or otherwise non-reusable cases are delivered to a plastics recycling company in Cambridge, ON.
*space permitting

Discs-

Click to see enlargedWe offer defective discs to schools and retirement homes who use them for arts & crafts projects.

 

Paper-

We recycle all paper only after every blank surface is used.
We hire a shredding company to shred & recycle all of our duplicate receipts & office paperwork.

Ink Cartridges-

We get our ink cartridges refilled and/or recycle old cartridges.

Air Conditioning-

During the hot summer months we do not keep our doors open while the air conditioning is running.
We maintain our heating & cooling units each quarter to ensure efficiency.
We only run the Air Conditioning during business hours.

Light Bulbs-

We have replaced all of our light bulbs with fluorescent bulbs which use 1/6 the energy of traditional light bulbs.
We do not leave our lights on when the stores are closed.

Our newest initiative:

We now have reusable cloth bags. These are currently only available in our stores.

Plastic Bags - Like many other retailers we are concerned about the excessive use of plastic bags. We will no longer be handing out bags to each customer; however, they will be available upon request.
