eDay 2008: Disposing of ICT safely An important part of being a responsible cybercitizen is minimising the impact of your ICT use on the environment. eDay 2008 provides New Zealanders with an environmentally friendly way to dispose of unwanted ICT equipment. eDay 2008 is being held in over 30 centres across the country October 4th and 5th. Members of the public can drop off their unwanted computers and mobile phones to be recycled and potentially re-used by low-income families, not-for-profit organisations and budding entreprenuers in developing countries. Visit the eDay website (www.eday.org.nz) for details on what and where to recycle and remember to always ensure that all data is wiped from your ICT devices before they are thrown away or recycled.
