E-Day an Enormous Success

The CHB District Council's electronic waste clean-up day was successful beyond wildest expectations. Throughout the day a steady stream of locals arrived at the Railway Station collection point and disencumbered themselves of obsolete and inoperable computers, monitors and printers. When the collection closed at 3pm the organisers had a freight container full!

Collection assistants were in high spirits - an excellent opportunity to meet locals and to salvage a few iconic machines for private collections.

The council is to be commended for this action otherwise much of this waste might have found its way into landfills with the consequential effect of putting toxic chemicals and elements into our soil.
