Our sustainability model includes the use of reputable IT Recyclers with accredited AS/NZS5377:2013 ISO as outlined in the Ministry for the Environment’s recommended e-Waste practices: Collection, Transport and Treatment of End-Of-Life Electrical and Electronic Equipment.

Recyclers are used to dispose of any unusable parts to ensure none ends up in a landfill. We maintain a salvage pool of good parts to recycle, as much as we can without compromising the quality of our repairs. We also have dedicated recycling bins for general office waste such as cardboard, plastics, paper (secure destruction), cans and glass.

Environmental Sustainability

Connect NZ store and re-use salvage parts that are new or like new in performance and reliability to decrease waste produced and the cost involved with ‘out of warranty’ repairs. Connect NZ have a longstanding relationship with ITRECYCLA - ITRECYCLA closely follows Ministry for the Environment’s recommended e-Waste practices as outlined in AS/NZS5377:2013: Collection, Transport and Treatment of End-Of-Life Electrical and Electronic Equipment. ITRECYCLA is also an active Basel participant holding an appropriate Basel Permit for the export of e-Waste material. The recycler refurbishes some and recycles the rest to ensure your device doesn't end up in a landfill.

"Then Connect NZ offered to transfer the files from my damaged laptop to the new one I purchased and to dispose of the old laptop for me. I picked it up after they did this for me, and they did not charge me anything extra for doing this. Very impressed."
