Landfilling e-waste is a danger to our environment due to its toxic nature and does not allow for the recovery and reuse of precious material such as gold,” said Mr Zwimpfer. Since eDay’s inception in 2007, approximately 40,000 cars have dropped off 196,000 items of computer and computer-related waste for safe recycling, diverting 2,337 tonnes of e-waste from landfills. Despite these results, as a long term solution, eDay New Zealand advocates for compulsory product stewardship and still says eDay is just an interim measure until this is in place. “Until legislation is in place, eBlue Ceramic Faceted & polished shiny Rings 7 inch tablet pc 7-inch Headrest Car DVD Player Fashional And Beautiful Dolphin Crystal Paul smith Black 2 buttons men\'s suit USB Pen Drives F003 Quad Band Dual Card With WIFI JAVA Function Unlocked Cell Phone Wireless Spy Camera Electronics Calculator with Video Receiver Automatically Take Photos/Record Digital Video Recorder cmos color camera with 2.5 inch lcd recording receiver carmp4 Dior Black 2 buttons men\'s suit smallville green arrow costume TV H3 Quad Band Dual Cards with Analog TV Java FM Touch Screen Cell Phone(White) The Third Generation 8GB MP3 Player with Clip DVR Cards & Systems gadgets china free shipping Canali Charcoal 2 buttons men\'s suit china phine buy maid sama cosplay tungsten rings with CZ stone Two Din 7 Inch Touchscreen DVD Player With GPS IPOD USB And SD Port bransdragon hl-8731gb gsm remote camera A668 Quad Band Dual Cards with Analog TV Java Rotatable keyboard Cell Phone 2GB Popular Design MP3 Player Car DVD Player For Opirus 4GB Cartoon U disk US041 2.8 Inch 8GB 1.3M pixel camera high clear QVGA touch screen MP4 FM record Day is helping to buy New Zealand a little more time without generating new problems in our landfills,” Mr Zwimpfer continued. eDay is a community event organised by the eDay New Zealand Trust, and is supported by nearly 100 organisations throughout the country. eDay 2010 is funded through the Ministry for the Environment’s Waste Minimisation Fund. eDay 2010 is supported nationally by the 2020 Communications Trust, KiwiRail, More FM, the Blue Star Group, Trade Me and industry partners, The Laptop Company and Invo. This year eDay organisers are encouraging communities to work together to collect their neighbourhood e-waste. Collecting it in one place and taking one trip to the drop-off locations saves time and reduces vehicle emissions. Material that can be disposed of at eDay 2010 includes all computer-related equipment, game consoles, fax machines and digital cameras. The Trust also accepts mobile phones although this year is encouraging people to donate them to Starship’s Mobile Phone Recycling Appeal. Other electronic equipment including televisions will not be accepted. eDay New Zealand Trust advises people to wipe all data from computer hard drives as well as removable media such as floppy disks and PC cards before handing them over for recycling. The recycling of the computer equipment to be collected this year will be managed under an agreement between the Ministry for the Environment and an external recycler, who is still to be appointed.
