It is time for the second nation e-waste collection day, planned for Saturday 13 July 2013, the event promises to add to the growing collection of e-waste by eWaste Association of South Africa (eWASA) member companies for responsible management and recycling. The July collection will be possible at 631 points, nationwide.
e-waste includes the obvious suspects such as your broken PC, mouse & printer and items such as broken toys, VCRs, gaming consoles, cables, fridges, washing machines, toasters, kettles and hairdryers. Make some space in the garage or storage cupboard and bring the items for safe recycling and/or disposal. Unique in its material composition, e-waste items contain both valuable and hazardous materials that can cause harm to the environment and human health if not handled correctly. In general the valuable bits help to fund the expensive hazardous waste treatment and or disposal of hazardous items such as mercury bearing lamps (CFLs and florescent tubes), batteries, and lead-containing glass found in old TV and computer monitors. eWASA members abide by a strict code of ethics and work in accordance with the association’s technical guidelines for the responsible dismantling and recycling of electronic and electrical waste.
