Buyequip's ewaste recycling centre in Red Hill is now officially opened

A big thankyou to all the people who attended Buyequip's opening night at Red Hill on Monday September 28. School holidays and a Monday night inhibited the numbers but it was an enjoyable affair all the same.

The night flowed with beer, wine, food and a talented young guitarist completed the atmosphere with some contemporary tunes.

The "guess the weight of the ewaste cage" competition generated much interest and Sara - representing TES AAM Recyclers Australia - was a deserving winner with the closest guess to 213kg. Partnering with Ecolodge at the Glasshouse Mountains, Buyequip was able to present Sara with a nights accommodation including breakfast at this tranquil, eco-friendly getaway.

Attendees showed their generosity with bids on the auction. Two quality ex-corporate computers were auctioned and all proceeds - a total of $420 - was donated to Lifeline Community Care Queensland .Colin Hannigan, Operations manager for Lifeline Ipswich and West Moreton shire, graciously accepted the donation on behalf of the charity. Mr Hannigan noted that Buyequip and Lifeline have developed a strong relationship and he hopes that this continues to grow in the future.

Buyequip will move out of the Stafford location at the end of October and their retail store - after nine prosperous years - will close. Buyequip's head office will be at the Red Hill location with the intention to expand to other locations in future.

Looking for something to do this long weekend? Get along to Greenfest 2009

Don’t forget that Buyequip will be attending Greenfest this long weekend, so be sure to pay a visit to the Botanic Gardens in Brisbane city where ‘all things green’ will come alive.

Buyequip’s stall will be located in the Green Economy Hub under the Big top – an ideal place to escape the wet weather that Brisbane is expecting over the weekend.
The food court and the speaker’s forum are close to our stall so before or after you grab a bite to eat, come over and say hello.

Although the Buyequip stall will be a highlight of the festival, there will be plenty to see and do over the three days. It will be a national as well as global affair. From local music acts and exhibitors to the international appearance of eco-fashion leader Summer Rayne Oakes and the world’s fastest electric car.

This is only the second year of Greenfest and the 2009 event is set to trump the much applauded 2008 festival. More than 50,000 festival-goers are expected to adorn Brisbane’s premier green location - the Botanic Gardens - over the three days and rain hail or shine, the show will go on.

Greenfest brings together varying industries, conservation groups, government and community groups to promote the need for a greener future.
The three-day festival at the Brisbane Botanic gardens begins from 12:00pm, tomorrow Friday June 5 – which aptly happens to be World Evironment Day - and ends Sunday June 7.

Don’t let a little wet weather deter you from a great day out for all the family – besides rain is all part of nature - vital for prosperity and the environment.
