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.
