E-waste recycling at OfficeMax
I routinely check WDC's recycling page for new or updated information. 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.
