Recycling electronic waste (e-waste) enables the recovery and reuse of valuable materials and ensures toxic materials are not buried in our landfills - so it's better for our environment. eDay (Saturday 6th November) is a simple, free and effective way to recycle your old computer equipment and mobile phones in an environmentally sustainable way.
