NEED to get rid of items that aren’t suitable to be placed in regular bins?
An e-waste collection event for City of Whittlesea residents is set for tomorrow between 11am and 1pm in the Whittlesea Showgrounds carpark.
Small electronic items with a plug, cord or battery will be accepted, including computers, televisions, certain kitchen appliances, hair dryers and cameras.
Whitegoods – such as microwaves, fridges and washing machines – will not be accepted on the day.
The City of Whittlesea reported that their most recent e-waste recycling collection event in Epping saved more than 3000kg of e-waste from going to landfill.
For those trying to palm off their textiles, there will be a specific recycling day to dispose of any clean clothing, swimwear, bed linen, hats, bags and other offcuts of fabric on Wednesday, November 18.
Be aware that undergarments, dirty items and duvets will not be accepted.
For more information, visit the Recycling page on the City of Whittlesea website.
