You know all that stuff under your bed, in your ward­robe or in your bot­tom draw­er? Yeah, that old laptop you were going to sell on Trade Me when you upgraded five years ago, and your crappy old cell­phone you could nev­er go back to since you bought your spiffy new smart­phone.

Well, you know what else? You’re nev­er going to get around to list­ing it all on Trade Me, and you’ll prob­ably just end up biff­ing it the next time you move flats.

So now is the time to face facts and dis­pose of your old gad­gets and com­puter bits in a thought­ful man­ner – it’s time for eDay.

eDay is the once-a-year col­lec­tion oppor­tun­ity for old com­puter and tech equip­ment. They’ll take if off your hands for free and ensure that it’s recycled or dis­posed of in a safe way.

You can drop off all these sorts of items:

  • com­puter hard­ware
  • mon­it­ors
  • net­work­ing equip­ment (e.g. modems, routers, hubs)
  • scan­ners
  • key­boards, mice, speak­ers
  • laptops
  • print­ers
  • game con­soles
  • toner and ink jet cart­ridges
  • mobile phones
  • fax machines
  • digit­al cam­er­as

But no TVs, videos or ste­reo equip­ment.
