Computer throwaway collection date??

Does anyone know what the day is in Hamilton, and where it will be held, I have a photocopier here from an organisation, that needs major work on it, and have been told to dump it when the Computer day is, as they take them as well, but need to know where and when, as the thing is that heavy I dont want to try to get it onto the back of the ute and have it there for weeks. thanks, :confused:

uhm... you might be out of luck... from www.eday.org.nz

What can be disposed of

• 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

What can't be disposed of

We can't accept items that aren't related to computers or mobile phones. These include:

• televisions
• radios
• stereos
• DVD players, video recorders
• other home appliances
• furniture
• software

It's not really for businesses to dump all their gear, in fact, it says "Please note this is a cars-only event, no trucks or trailers please", in an attempt to stop warehouses of dated gear getting loaded into huge trailers and presented on eDay.

I have been involved for the last 2 years, and definitely don't want to be the one to have to lift out a massive photocopier from a vehicle. That said, it may be accepted (although I haven't seen any in the last years), so we'll get the forklift in.

I have sent an enquiry to the E site that you have above, to see if its possible to bring the photocopier to the day! Thanks for the information.

Meridian emailed me yesterday inviting me to take part in eDay and WIN one of 10 prizes to have your electricity paid for the month. So if you are a Meridian customer and you hadn't heard, check out their website and get the details. I already subscribe to them so have no problem receiving emails - the bill, a reminder and now this. NO biggie.
