We were proud to sponsor Upper Hutt’s first-ever E-Day this past Sunday — and what a success it was!
A whopping 11,670kg of waste was collected, with over 400 families from Upper Hutt turning up to do their part for the environment. Thanks to local generosity, the event also raised over $750 for Variety – the Children’s Charity
E-Waste can be a tricky one to know what to do with, which leads to an estimated 98% of it going to landfill. Thanks to initiatives like Echo Tech NZ’s e-waste days, we can do better than this!
Keep those electronics out of landfill and stay tuned for more events like this in future.
