TOYOTA AND LEXUS HYBRID RIDE AND DRIVES Looking for a cleaner, 'greener' vehicle? Come view the complete line-up of Toyota and luxury Lexus hybrid cars right on the EPIC show floor. Get a sneak peak of upcoming Hybrid models not on the market yet including the all-new third generation Prius, the all-new Lexus RX450h and the Lexus HS250h. But don't just browse - get behind the wheel! Test drives of the new Toyota and Lexus hybrids will be offered all weekend long, so sit back and enjoy the ride. BRING YOUR E-WASTE FOR DONATION AND RECYCLING! Get rid of your e-waste and save tonnes of toxins from landfills! FIDO will be collecting old cell phones, as well as food donations for The Vancouver Food Bank. The Electronic Recycling Association will be collecting laptops, computers and all other computer and electronic-related items for donation and recycling. ERA is a reuse company who will collect, fix and donate items to charities. They then recycle the old items if there is no possible reuse. You'll find a convenient drop-off for both e-waste and food donations at the front entrance to EPIC.
