To help celebrate Keep Australia Beautiful week, Buyequip will host a free, computer drop off day at Officeworks, Browns Plains on Friday August 27.
Buyequip, along with proud sponsors Officeworks and Westpac Browns Plains, invite local businesses and residents to drop off unwanted eWaste including computers, printers, laptops, CRT monitors and all computer peripherals (televisions excluded).
The 2010 focus of Keep Australia Beautiful Week is on increasing recycling to help reduce landfill waste and enable the reuse of valuable resources. The items collected at the Recyclathon will be assessed for reuse or broken down for optimum disposal utilising a range of recycling channels and methods to minimise waste in landfills.
Keep Australia Beautiful is very pleased to be associated with Buyequip’s eWaste Recyclathon day,” KAB Queensland CEO, Rick Burnett said.
“Waste management is one of the biggest concerns for Queensland’s growing population, and we must find better methods of resource recovery from everything we throw away.
“That means recovering the precious metals and components from our outdated and unwanted electronic goods and re-using them.”
There are no eWaste recycling solutions within the Logan area at present, and by teaming up with the local branches of Officeworks and Westpac, Buyequip is able to provide the community with the opportunity to recycle their eWaste and keep it out of local dumps.
Officeworks will put on a BBQ sausage sizzle for the day and all proceeds from this will be donated to Keep Australia Beautiful.
“Congratulations to Buyequip, and all those involved in this innovative Recyclathon,” Mr Burnett said.
