| 807545 | 2009-09-07 04:27:00 | http://www.eday.org.nz 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. eDay 2009 is to be held on Saturday 12th September 2009. Can a mod sticky this? |

| 807548 | 2009-09-07 08:17:00 | How fortuitous. I bought my mother a new PC at the weekend. I'll use her old one but the old CRT can go to Ewaste | paulw (1826) | ||
| 807549 | 2009-09-10 06:12:00 | Of course! I'll be at Manukau City. Ha! My dad will be there dropping off enough computers for a small computer (not really, just a CPU and cell phones) |
