The next ewaste collection day will be held at the Town Hall carpark (cnr Hawthorn and Glen Eira rds) from 8am to 4pm.
This is the second of three collection days scheduled for this financial year after council last year allocated upto $ 64k to trial this service in each ward.
The first held in Carnegie in October was a resounding success with approx 27 tonnes of ewaste that included the likes of TVs and computers collected for recycling that otherwise would have ended up in landfill.
Ewaste that is being put out with hard rubbish has been an ever increasing problem especially in recent years as anyone driving or riding around the streets of Glen Eira will testify to. The practical enactment of national codes governing this problem is still several years away - these days provide some opportunity for residents to dispose of their ewaste in an environmentally responsible way.
