We will also be collaborating with Cape eWaste to do collection drives in Sunset Beach once every 3 months. They will be here on a Saturday morning between 09h00 and 12h00, to take any unwanted electronic equipment as mentioned below. Please do keep your eyes on our Sunset Beach Calendar at the bottom of this page for the next eWaste Collection date.

Note the following: Recent studies show that the component materials of electronic items threaten human health and the environment, especially water and air. Cathode ray tubes (CRTs), the glass picture tubes found in television and computer monitors, contain lead. Computers contain heavy metals such as lead, chromium, nickel, zinc and other metals. Many landfills refuse to accept electronic products, or charge a hefty disposal fee. Local and state governments are imposing strict guidelines on proper disposal.

The question now is simple.
