E-waste collection

This is for those squirrels out there - you know who you are... dead computers and parts collecting dust in the garage, office storeroom, bedroom...

Now Moreton Bay Regional Council is having an E-waste collection for residents in July 2010. You can drop off any electric and electronic items that are no longer needed. Only two weekend remain and the locations are:

Saturday 24 & Sunday 25 July 2010 - REDCLIFFE TRANSFER STATION 261 Duffield Road Clontarf

Saturday 31 July & Sunday 1 August 2010 - BUNYA LANDFILL Bunya Road, near Bunya State Forest

What is e-waste?

• phones/faxes
• mobile phones
• computers
• keyboards
• printers
• televisions
• video/dvd players or recorders
• cameras
• copiers
• music - CDs and DVDs
• gaming consoles etc

Where will your e-waste be taken?
Your e-waste will be recycled at Australia's largest e-waste recycling centre based in Sydney.

This is a better solution than dumping items in the bit where all those heavy metals in electronic circuitry end up going to landfill.
