Turn unwanted electronics into a positive for the environment this October.

Why recycle e-waste?

Electronic waste is one of New Zealand’s fastest growing waste streams. Many electronic items contain valuable materials that can be recovered and reused, along with components that require careful handling to protect the environment.

By recycling unwanted electronics, we can all help to reduce waste, save resources and support a more sustainable future for our communities.
