How to Dispose of your Electronics Safely!!

                                                                                                                                  

Going digital is coming on the 29th of September and we have to say goodbye to our old T.V.s.

                              

                                                                                                                              

                                              

How do we dispose of these? Do you think we chuck them in the bin and let the garbage truck take care of them? Or do we use... E-WASTE! (Eletronic waste)

What is e-waste most of you ask? Well e-waste is something where you can get rid of your T.V. safely by bringing it to your local recycling centre.  There they will take your electronics apart safely. Please don't do this at home because there is stuff in the T.V. that can give an electric shock that can kill you and chemical that can affect you. 

E- waste is the fastest growing waste stream around the world. All electronic products from electric toothbrushes to fridges can be taken to an e-waste dump.

Our local e-waste dump is on 37 Corbett Road, Bell Block. The company name is Whitaker Civil Engineering. They are open at 8am to noon on Tuesdays to Saturdays.
