Wigram Skies Lions Club

We recently gave a talk about how Molten Media helps to repurpose IT equipment and minimise e-waste to members of the Wigram Skies Lions Club and as a result, they were able to provide valuable assistance by generously donating towards our cause.

Stainless Steel Cabinets

Some stainless steel cabinets have been recently donated to us.

They are painted green or yellow. They were used to house an irrigation control unit. It has doors on both sides but no keys.

29 cm deep 35.5 cm wide 89 cm high

It’s a shame that the metal recyclers will pay close to $30 as scrap so it makes it hard to try and sell these instead of taking them to the recycler.

$50 each.

CRT Monitors

Did you know the glass in an old CRT monitor contains up to 10% Lead. This metal, which is highly toxic to humans, was added to the glass to improve the optical quality and to help shield the x-rays. no wonder those tubes were so heavy! Here’s a photo of our warehouse back when we used to process a lot of CRT monitors.

Ao Tawhiti School Visit

Last Friday, we hosted our first school group visit from Ao Tawhiti School in Christchurch. They were very interested to see what happens to the e-waste that we receive.
