Ethical E-Waste Recyclers
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.
The Christchurch City Council have just released details of which groups are receiving funds from their Sustainability Fund.
Molten Media are among the 22 groups. This will allow us to progress our Ethical E-waste project which aims to reduce electronic waste by refurbishing and donating old equipment to those in need, and by stripping and recycling old computers.

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.

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.
We have a range of 22″ and 24″ Viewsonic LCD monitors that have been donated to us. Most don’t have a stand and some have a few scrapes and scratches so are priced from $30
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.
