Waste Management of Southern Africa), and also in conjunction with eWASA (the E-waste Association of South Africa), in order to give businesses and the general public alike a chance to dispose of electronic waste, including old cell phones, in a safe and responsible manner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The Gauteng E-Waste Collection Day, which is being held on the 19<sup>th<\/sup> of November, intends to educate people on how to dispose of electronic waste safely, as well as to provide a means of disposal that is both convenient and free of charge.&nbsp; Electronic waste will be received at 24 different disposal points across Gauteng between the hours of 9am and 2pm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>\u201cThe initiative, in addition to providing people with a convenient and free way of disposing of their e-waste, aims to raise awareness of the environmental damage, and legal implications, of the illegal dumping of e-waste\u201d, says the managing director of Africa e-waste, Ulze van Wyk.&nbsp; \u201cThe destruction or refurbishment of e-waste, including white goods, is a specialized practice \u2013 and individuals need to have the facilities to safely and legally dispose of these goods.&nbsp; The Collection Day, the first of its kind in Gauteng, provides this outlet\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Van Wyk goes on to say that the initiative is a wonderful one from the industry, with many providers having joined in to offer their services free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa e-waste has decided to join an
