No toxic or e-waste (tv's, computers, phones, fridges etc) are accepted at the landfill.  The components contained in these products contain very harmful substances such as cadmium and phosphorous.  Recycle Cook Islands manage electrical waste, whiteware, steel and batteries so you may take these to their yard next to St Josephs school.  Bluesky Cook Islands can take your phones and cameras.
