| 569714 | 2007-07-17 09:47:00 | [Ses-all] eDay 2007 - Recycle your Old Computers for Free - 29 September Wellington Recycle your Old Computers for Free Not sure what to do with the old computer in your garage? Or the old mobile phones cluttering your drawers? How about free disposal in an environmentally sustainable way? The Computer Access NZ Trust (CANZ) is organising eDay 2007, a free community computer recycling day for households, small businesses and schools on Saturday 29 September at the Westpac Stadium car park from 9am-3pm. This follows on from the very successful Dell Free Recycling Day held in September 2006. The average New Zealand household has more than one computer representing a total of over seven million electronic devices. Their eventual disposal represents a potential challenge to our environment. eDay 2007 is part of a nationwide effort by communities and industry to start to address the electronic waste problem. Bring in your old computer equipment on 29 September - there is no charge. All computers will be broken down and the parts will be recycled for other purposes. Mobile phones will also be disposed of in an environmentally sustainable way. Vehicle access for the Westpac Stadium car park is off Waterloo Quay. CANZ is organising the day in partnership with the Wellington 2020 Communications Trust, Remarkit, the Wellington City Council and a number of industry sponsors. Only computer equipment and mobile phones will be accepted so please do not bring other electronic equipment.

| 569717 | 2007-07-18 01:58:00 | I understand they collected a staggering amount of e-waste at last years event in Wellington, and might be daunted by the potential response if they held an eDay in Auckland. As well as the obvious point that many of the organisers are Wellington based... | bachelorno1 (6556) | ||
