E-Waste now live and other news

The E-waste and electrical items map is now live. I am still populating it, but there is a reasonable amount of markers to make it live. E-Waste pretty much covers anything with a battery or a plug. A sub-category includes old mobile phones. Note that many places have fees for the disposal of E-Waste, but will take phones for free.

In other news, we’re now at 2938 map markers. Very close to 3000 markers across RecycleMap!

Also, Waste Oil recycling and Childrens Car seats are still being worked on in the background. They will be coming soon, once I’ve worked through the majority of council facilities that would take them.

Added marker data for Gore and Grey District councils.

On an unrelated note, the process for manually locating and entering the marker data can be incredibly frustrating at times, but also entirely validates this websites existence. Some council transfer stations are literally not locatable via the addresses or descriptions given. Sometimes a street that is several hundred metres long is the only address (“Dave St”). Others you might be lucky and it’ll be “Corner of “Frank St” or something, but a google street view or map does not show anything in the location, so who knows if it’s there or not. I have reached out to ALL councils of New Zealand, and had a mixed response, and so the process of manually tracking down as many transfer stations as possible, council by council, continues. I will not add stations that I am not comfortable with the location for.
