PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

18/03/2026

No, it’s not a joke! 🔌📦

We are officially back at the Tawa Community Centre for our yearly visit on Wednesday, 1st April.

You know the drill. If you’ve been holding onto old electronics, now is the perfect time to give them a second life. We’re hosting an E-Waste Pop-Up Collection to ensure your old tech is recovered, repaired, or shared responsibly instead of ending up just for recycling or in the landfill.

When: Wednesday, 1st April

Where: Tawa Community Centre

Time: 10am to 1pm

Let’s work together to keep Tawa circular!
