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.
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.
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.
