During my last check a few days ago I was very surprised to read that OfficeMax now accept certain types of electronic waste (e-waste) free of charge (see the "e-Waste" section at the bottom of the page). I couldn't quite believe it, so I visited OfficeMax today and asked them about it - and it's true! Brian, one of their (very friendly) staff even gave me a guided tour, explained the collection process to me, and showed me some stats how much was diverted from landfill in recent months. E-waste goes to Auckland, is separated, shredded and preprocessed there, collected, and then shipped overseas to specialist recyclers who recover between 95% and 99% of the materials, particularly the precious metals.
Kudos and BIG THANKS to OfficeMax for implementing this scheme. Please excuse the bad quality of the photo, which was taken in a bit of a hurry. OfficeMax also have a web page for this free service, which is called TechCollect.

Many millions of dollars of investment capital have been lost to other districts because the District Council is difficult to deal with. That means lost jobs and lost income for local families.
That's why we are supporting candidates who commit to changing the Council's culture to one that asks, "How can we make it happen?" instead of standing in the way.
