Sadly, there are some things we can’t take… 😢
Fridges, fridge/freezers, heat pumps, dehumidifiers because of the need for them to be degassed and also our lack of space for storing big white ware. However, or pals at the Tip Shop will take them for $25 a pop.
Dishwashers, washing machines, ovens etc - not sure where these can go now that Trash Palace has closed (we’re looking in to alternatives).
CD’s DVDs, video tapes, cassette tapes - sadly, all landfill. There is still no process for these in Wellington. Op shops may take take cds, dvds if they’re in their proper cases etc
Incandescent light bulbs (olden style) & halogen light bulbs (mr16s & Gu10’s) - all go to landfill
Where does the e-waste go?
We work with trusted partners to dispose of the e-waste correctly. Most of the e-waste we collect goes to IT Recycla, however mobile phones go to SwapKit, CFL ecobulbs and flurotubes go to Interwaste
