Crackdown on e-waste in landfill

General news...

Another busy week for Buyequip. Buyequip completed the logistics aspect of the roll out from Queensland CSIRO sites. The next phase of the project - evaluation and reporting - will now commence.

Buyequip will again meet with executives from Redlands City Council on the implementation of e-waste divisions at the transfer stations in the region.

Buyequip's new baling machine has arrived! This will make Buyequip's operations even more efficient, particularly the processing of CRT Televisions and monitors, as we are able to bale the large amounts of ABS plastic these items produce.

Environmental solutions for e-waste

General news...

This week has been a busy one at Buyequip. It started with our market day last Saturday - the busiest to date at our Newmarket Remarketing Centre. Over 70 people picked up bargains on computers and bits and pieces.

Wednesdays auction was our biggest to date. It was also very well attended - with approximately 30 bidders on the day and 6 or 7 absentee bidders. There were 428 lots of computers, lcds and laptops as well as some unusual finds (including a kodak carousel projector which sold for just $5!).

Our Red Hill warehouse and Recycling Centre has also been very busy, packing over 700 pieces of computers equipment that have been remarketed into the Pacific Islands. The warehouse staff are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our new baling machine next week. This will increase our ability to process CRT Televisions and monitors, as we will now be able to bale the large amounts of ABS plastic these items produce.
