sarrenThis weekend local governments and regional councils in the Perth metropolitan area will be hosting free public E-waste drop-off days.
E-waste is a pressing issue due to the hazardous toxic substances contained in electronics. If leached into the environment at landfill, these can cause devastating effects on surrounding eco-systems and long-term environmental health.
Eight collection sites will be setup around the metropolitan area in the cites of Joondalup, Perth, Rockingham, South Perth, Stirling, Swan and Sims E-waste Recycling (Spearwood).
Products that will be accepted include computer equipment and accessories, printers, scanners, mobile phones, telephones, TVs, video and DVD players, stereo equipment, digital and video cameras.
E-waste products that will not be accepted include cathode ray tubes (CRTs) from old style TVs and monitors that are removed from their cases or CRTs that are cracked or broken, white goods, vacuum cleaners, microwaves, other kitchen and household appliances.
