Recycling electronic waste (e-waste) enables the recovery and reuse of valuable materials and ensures toxic materials are not buried in our landfills - so it's better for our environment.
eDay is a cars-only drive-through recycling event which gives you the opportunity to recycle old computers or mobile phones in an environmentally sustainable way.
Over 16,550 cars dropped off 87,056 items during eDay 2008. A total of 946 tonnes of e-waste was diverted from our landfills. This year we hope to divert over 1,000 tonnes of e-waste from New Zealand landfills.
Last year in Wanganui, our second eDay, we collected 39 tons and we look forward to another great one this year.
Please visit our webiste for more information about eDay and we especially invite you to be a volunteer and sign-up online or call local co-coordinator, Alistair Fraser on 06 348 9504
