E Waste Drop Off Events launched in Auckland
Aucklanders can divert their e-waste from landfills by dropping it off at a series of events being rolled out around the city.
Auckland-based company Computer Recycling is hosting more than 30 e-waste drop-off days.
During the first two events this year, members of the community delivered nearly 22,000 kg of e-waste.
More than 300 people flocked to the First Presbyterian Church in Papakura to drop off 8462 kg of e-waste.
This included more than 70 printers, 56 old home appliances, 63 televisions and other electronic goods.
Meanwhile Greenbay High School saw 450 people and drew 13,512 kg of e-waste to be diverted from landfills.
During the events, Computer Recycling will be raising funds for the children's Variety charity and will be matching the donations.
The next two events will be held on February 27 at Mt Albert Baptist Church and on March 6 at Massey University East Precinct Albany Expressway, in Albany.
Do you plan to take advantage of these e-waste days?
