Rotary Cambridge E-Waste Recycling
Rotary Cambridge has launched a new service for the Waipa community, to collect E-Waste, and dispose /recycle electrical items in an environmentally responsible manner. Items that are in working order, or can be repaired, are recycled or repurposed. E-Waste includes any equipment or product that operates on electricity or a battery. We are currently collecting E-Waste items up to the size of a microwave oven.
Collections are held every 3rd Sunday- 9- 11am out the front of Cambridge High School in Swayne Rd
Sad Facts:
- 80% of all New Zealand E-Waste ends up in landfills, and is not recycled.
- The average New Zealander disposes of nearly 30kg of E-Waste per year.
- A community the size of Cambridge generates up to 20-Tonnes of battery waste per year.
- E-Waste contributes approx. 40% of Lead and 70% of Heavy Metals found in landfills.
