Thank you to the residents of Dunedin for supporting another successful eDay which managed to divert 36 tonnes of electronic waste from landfills on Saturday 19th September 2009.
Dunedin communications co-ordinator Susan Smirk said it had been a bit quieter than last year's drive-through event, with 621 cars going through the waste collection site at Fryatt St.
However, the amount of computer and related equipment, like cellphones and printers, that people unloaded was "amazing", she said.
"We've had people come in with three car loads; they've just gone round and round - you wonder where they store it all at home."
A special thank you to the volunteers on the day who totalled around 100. Teamwork was to the fore as vehicles were unloaded and equipment sorted.
"On behalf of the New Zealand International Science Festival, I would like to thank all those involved in making this day such a success. What a wonderful day, where I met and worked with the teams - it went like clockwork. " Director Sue Clarke said.
