I want to get rid of e-waste

The following tips will help you to achieve this goal.

Small steps

Choose rechargeable batteries instead of single use batteries

Although they cost more up-front, each rechargeable battery can be used again preventing the need to purchase new batteries, and adding to the electronic waste going to landfill when they are not disposed of correctly.

Recycle old electronic waste

Recycle old computers, TVs and cell phones (electronic waste). Old cell phones can be taken back to Telecom or Vodafone stores for re-use or recycling.
