This is kind of awesome. You can now get rid of your e-waste for free.
Residents across the Wairarapa are now able to dispose of electronic waste free of charge at transfer stations.
From Monday 1st October the Masterton, Carterton and Martinborough transfer stations began accepting electronic waste at no cost.
Residents can dispose of unwanted electronic goods such as computers, laptops, car batteries, DVD and CD players, routers, household whiteware and kitchen appliances.
Other items such as stoves, microwaves, dishwashers, ovens, vacuum cleaners and washing machines are also accepted.
The establishment of the e-waste drop off services was proposed in Masterton, Carterton and South Wairarapa’s long-term plan consultation and received support from residents.
The initiative is intended to reduce e-waste being landfilled and enable valuable electronic materials to be recovered.
It also replaces the TV take back programme discontinued by the Ministry for the Environment.

Slow Woven Textile Studio Open Day
Hi Neighbours! I am a weaver and fibre artist who works with natural fibres to create beautiful, one-off pieces inspired by the native plant life of Aotearoa.
Join me in my Ashhurst studio next Sunday, the 4th of January, for the Slow Woven Textile Studio monthly open day. You can learn about weaving, enjoy demonstrations and even weave your own cute and colourful mug rug to take home for free.
I share the studio with my dad, rural artist Graham Christensen, and his work will also be on display.
Sunday 4th of January, Open 10am-4pm
84 Glenburn Road, (off Napier Rd) Ashhurst.
Please note that number 84 is at the very end of Glenburn Road - so wind your way up the hill and it's at the very top.
The studio is open to the public on the first Sunday of each month.
