You can turf them at e-waste drop off points around Auckland.
More than 30 e-waste drop off days will be run around the city by Auckland based Computer Recycling.
Dubbed the "CR E-days", these will give members of the community a chance to avoid dumping their e-waste in landfills.
Community centres across the city have volunteered their spaces for the events.
Donations will be collected at the events to raise funds for the children's charity Variety.
All donations made during the CR E-days will be matched by Computer Recycling.
The company last year collected more than 18000 kg of discarded electronic waste which would have ended up in landfills.
More than 400 households dropped off their unwanted electronics during the three CR E-Days.
Computer Recycling director Patrick Moynahan said he hoped to collect and divert from landfill more than 300,000 kilograms of e-waste this year.
“There is no New Zealand-based framework or legislation as to how Kiwis dispose of their unwanted e-waste," he said, " but so far it has been really encouraging to see how much people are looking to do the right thing when it comes to disposing of their old tech.”
All e-waste collected from the events is brought back to the company's site in Onehunga where it is sorted for re-use or recycling.
The first four events of 2021 will be held on:
January 30 at First Presbyterian Church Papakura, February 6 at Green Bay High school, February 27 at Mt Albert Baptist Church, March 6 at Massey University East Precinct Albert Expressway in Albany.

Nissan Bluebird 2001 low mileage priced for a quick sale - $2,250
Letting go of our reliable Nissan Bluebird Sylphy 2001 to a good home. Was initially intending to bring it with us since we will be moving out of Auckland to the South Island, but finally thought that it would be a surplus to our requirement.

Was initially intending to bring it with us since we will be moving out of Auckland to the South Island, but finally thought that it would be a surplus to our requirement.
Low mileage (143,000km despite its age) due to not having much use - only been driven for local trips to schools and supermarkets, and as a backup to the main vehicle. Drives well as far as I could tell. In our opinion it is still looking good (no dents etc) for a car of this age.
Car can be viewed in Mt Roskill. Open to offers. Priced for a quick sale on this one - we are serious sellers so we expect serious buyers as well. Thanks. Happy New Year.

What should Auckland Council prioritise this year?
Auckland Council plans to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and is set to be one of the biggest challenges that is facing council leaders in 2021.
The Auckland Climate Plan is set to be released to the public for consultation in February, with Councillors already opting for the smaller of the two climate budget proposals.
Water management, both water access and waste water systems are also set to come under review, with Watercare scaling back many projects, which may end up postponing completion by a number of years.

Earlier this month, one of the owners of the store was working behind the counter when a man entered the store and demanded money.
He walked behind the counter to the cash register and took a large sum of money, but the owner very quickly managed to activate the anti-theft smoke canon and the offender fled the shop.
Seeing what happened, the members of the public chased the offender and caught him, holding him until Police arrived soon afterwards.
He was then arrested and taken into custody.
A 40-year-old man has been charged with theft and was due to appear in the Waitakere District Court last week.
The money taken was returned to the dairy owners (pictured on the left), who were very grateful to those who stepped in to help.
A great result and example of people going above and beyond to look out for people in their local community.

Poll: Are you in favour of water bills possibly rising across Auckland?
Aucklanders' water bills could more than double over the next decade, rising $1200.
The likely price hike has been linked to the financial impact of Covid-19 and the region’s drought.
