Workshop, News release, Public collection, Social media, Guided tours of the DRZ premises
Come and find out by yourself! You are welcome to visit the premises of DRZ, and learn about what happens here: the environmental and social benefits of treating 6 tons of old electric and/or electronic appliances per workday, with formerly long-term unemployed persons who face difficulties in finding an appropriate new job on the regular labour market.
Most of this huge amount of e-waste is dismantled manually, for recycling, but some devices can still be re-used, after some repair steps, and particularly appealing parts even make really beautiful new design products.
Friday 14 October 2022, International E-Waste Day:
- Guided tours
- Workshops for adults and children
- Collection of small electronic devices
Demontage- und Recycling-Zentrum, Vogtgasse 29, 1140 Wien
