Wednesday 14 October is International E-Waste Day 2026! This year WEEE Ireland is highlighting the growing impact of FastTech - small electronic items including mini-fans, festive lights and decorations, wireless headphones and speakers, power banks and chargers, and electronic toys, that are often bought on impulse or as anovelty and then either forgotten about (hoarded) or incorrectly discarded as waste. And as many of these products may contain lithium batteries, which if disposed of incorrectly in household bins, may be damaged during waste processing leading to risk of fires in bin trucks or at recycling facilities.
