Our efforts to reduce environmental impacts
At Withey's we recover customers’ germicidal UV (mercury) lamps, and e-waste and take them to our local recycling centre for safe-recycling through BC Product Stewardship Program. We also encourage the use of longer-lasting better quality filters and treatment systems to reduce landfill waste. We recycle all our shipping cardboard and packing materials and consolidate our suppliers and order in bulk supplies to save on shipping costs and greenhouse gases. We are huge proponents of water conservation and not using bottled water. Drink clean water from your tap! And our technicians operate fuel efficient/hybrid service vehicles.
