The e-Waste Alliance (eWA), together with the Institute of Waste Management of Southern Africa (IWMSA) is delighted to announce its third public e-Waste Collection Drive that will be taking place on Saturday 24 September 2011.

Anyone who knew Gerry Newson (24 June 1947 ' 8 February 2010) well was in admiration of his remarkable ability to overcome the deepest threat to life - the destruction of the planet - with his work in hands-on recovery and re-use of electronic waste.

Using waste to save the planet, Heather Green's E!UREKA jewellery and corporate gift business transforms discarded computer parts into art with a message. Inspired by Jerry Newson, who set up an e-waste section at the Footprints Eco Centre and now heads up a dedicated e-waste depot in Maitland, Heather sources only discarded components that cannot be used for refurbished computers.
