Looking to declutter your living space and divert electronic waste from landfills? Aucklanders mark your calendars for Samsung Electronics New Zealand’s e-waste day at Eden Park and their Northcote head office on 4 May 2024. The Eden Park location is open from 9am to 3pm.
Accepting a wide variety of electronics from computers and TVs, to heat pumps and whiteware, Samsung has partnered with New Zealand’s largest e-waste disposal company, Echo (formerly Computer Recycling) to help Kiwis manage their e-waste correctly.
The drive-through collection events are completely cost-free to provide an easy, local solution for recycling and disposing of old electronics. With e-waste being notoriously difficult to dispose of, the drives aim to reduce the amount of electronic waste being sent to landfills.
Samsung’s 2023 e-waste collection events were a major success, seeing over 1,800 cars across two locations and diverting a total of 19.5 tonnes of electronic waste from landfills. This year, Samsung continues to highlight the growing issue of electronic waste and promote responsible e-waste management through these initiatives.
To thank participants for recycling their e-waste, Samsung will be providing $50 e-vouchers to spend on samsung.com . Simply scan the QR code provided upon drop-off and a voucher will be sent via email within five days.
