| 709709 | 2008-10-04 03:02:00 | Did you use E-Day? Well I did, I piled up my work van and took like 10 computers and heaps of parts and monitors in. I used my work van and they tried to tell me I that they weren't taking company e-waste. I said it wasn't! Just my collection of many old computers that my mates were always dropping off. So I have finally rid my house and garage of that junk! Good on them for having E-Day!! |

| 709710 | 2008-10-04 03:08:00 | No, but only because Lower Hutt council held a similar event about 6 weeks ago - I got rid of all my junk PC gear then. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 709711 | 2008-10-04 03:24:00 | Sure did - got rid of a few non-working PCs, a few old cases with motherboards and 2 15" CRTs. We now have much more space in the garage :D | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 709712 | 2008-10-04 03:24:00 | Nope. I was working at Eday. Got me a few spare batteries for my phone. Missed out on four or so excellent working condition mobiles. |

| 709713 | 2008-10-04 04:18:00 | Yes. Just got back from Nelson depot. Offloaded three old machines, a 15" screen and a couple of keyboards, all of which I had previously retained for visiting grandchildren to play on. The shelves look bare, holding only the three hard drives I removed - a 4.3 Gb Seagate, an 8.4 Gb Seagate, a Fujitsu which I think is 30 Gb. Streams of cars at the depot and dozens of volunteers unloading and stacking the equipment. |

| 709714 | 2008-10-04 04:36:00 | No, didn't use it this year, but I think it's a great idea and props to everyone involved :clap | bachelorno1 (6556) | ||
| 709715 | 2008-10-04 05:28:00 | Yes but only had one 17" crt to dispose of everything else still in use at the moment, Nelson one was busy at 8.30 this morning. I think it is a great idea pity there isn't somewhere you can recycle parts all year though | gary67 (56) | ||
| 709716 | 2008-10-04 06:40:00 | Nope, nothing to throw away. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 709717 | 2008-10-04 07:58:00 | My wife and I went to drop off our remnants (including an old UPS that weighed a fair bit - would have hated to pay per kg at the tip for that) and was in a queue for 50 minutes! There were cars lined up down two streets and when we entered the coolstore carpark where they were doing the collection the line was 5 wide and at least 30 deep. My wife mentioned that the fumes and carbon emissions from 1000 or more cars idling for an hour would probably add up to a not so "e" day! |

| 709718 | 2008-10-04 08:37:00 | I did. Managed to get rid of a few dead PCs, a couple of old monitors that actually still worked and an old Compaq server that weighed a frigin' ton! Also got rid of half a dozen dead routers and mainboards plus about 10 dead PSUs. |
