Sponsor an E-day

We support our clients to sponsor or host E-Days for their teams or local communities. This is a great way for your business to increase your community touchpoints while promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship directly to your audiences. If you’re interested in running your own E-Day – either private or open to the local community – we can create a bespoke event specifically for your business

Giving back through E-Days

Giving Back Through E-Days
We enhance the opportunities for our communities to make a difference at our E-Days via our regular fundraising campaigns at events. We use the E-Days to gather donations for our chosen charity partner Variety – The Children’s Charity.
Closing the Digital Divide
Since 2022 we have partnered with Recycle a Device (RAD) to establish a seamless pathway for pre-loved laptops and IT devices to those who need them most, in an effort to reduce Aotearoa’s digital divide. A portion of laptops that come through our doors are refurbished, and the fit-for-purpose devices are gifted to rangatahi who need them for employment and education purposes.

Frequently asked questions

What types of electronic waste can I recycle with Echo?
We accept a wide range of electronic waste, including but not limited to computers, smartphones, tablets, printers, whiteware and televisions. Our goal is to make recycling your outdated or unused electronics as convenient and comprehensive as possible. For a detailed list of accepted items, please visit our Items We Accept page.
Is there a cost associated with recycling my e-waste?
Yes. there is a cost involved in our e-waste recycling services, depending on the volume and type of items you need to recycle. Our friendly Customer Experience team is able to provide more detailed information on pricing - get in in touch via info@echotech.co.nz
Can I dispose of my e-waste in curbside rubbish?
Most local councils in New Zealand will not allow you to dispose of e-waste in your curbside rubbish bin. It is recommended you include all domestic e-waste in your inorganic collection, donate it to a community op shop, or recycle it via an e-waste recycler such as Echo. Sending old or unwated technology to landfill has a negative impact on the surrounding environment, and means recoverable materials within those devices cannot be recovered.
What is your approach to electronic recycling & re-use solutions?
At Echo we use a technical approach, first identifying as much equipment as possible for re-use. These items are data sanitised, tested and refurbished before being circulated back within the community. Equipment that cannot be reused is prepared, dismantled and processed for recycling using state-of-the-art technology at our sites in Wellington and Auckland.
How do you ensure data security during the recycling process?
Data security is our top priority. We follow strict data destruction protocols to erase all personal information from devices before they are refurbished or recycled. Our processes are compliant with the highest levels of international data erasure, ensuring your information is securely handled and completely destroyed. If the item you are dropping off contains a detachable memory card, USB stick etc, please remove this from your device and hand that to one of our team directly. This has its own method of disposal which will ensure your data, photos etc are safely destroyed.

Paul S, Deloitte
EROAD has been using the services of Echo since October 2019 and I can honestly say with all my dealings with the staff at the company, I have always had the best customer service anyone could ask for. They have always been friendly and professional and most importantly - always on time.

Echo's staff are very easy to deal with, and the communication and response is always prompt. The service provided is always great.
