E-Waste Santa Day brings Christmas cheer and eco-consciousness
The children were gifted with handmade toys crafted from recycled e-waste parts.
IN a festive celebration of both the holiday spirit and environmental responsibility, Electronic Cemetery E-Waste Management (ECEWM) hosted a remarkable event recently – the E-Waste Santa Day at their unit in Fischer Park, Hillcrest.
With a Santa Claus like no other, festively draped in electronic circuits and wires, the event took recycling to a whole new level.
Santa, seated majestically on a throne constructed from discarded computer towers and e-waste, welcomed kids with open arms.

The highlight of the day was not just the photo ops but the unique gifts handed out to the kids.
Handmade toys crafted from recycled e-waste parts, including miniature cars, figurines and Christmas ornaments, delighted the children. It was a magical moment as they not only received presents but also gained an invaluable lesson in sustainability.
“Teaching the younger generation about the importance of proper e-waste recycling is crucial for our planet’s future,” said one of the founders of ECEWM, Natalie Nash.
“By turning discarded electronics into toys, we hope to inspire a generation that values both creativity and environmental responsibility.”
