Abstract
Items are imported into Niue in growing numbers, but there are currently limited viable options for their end-of-life management and/or export. As such most items imported are disposed of at the dumpsites or stockpiled on vacant land. Electronic waste stockpiles, in particular are increasing resulting in increased pollution and health risks to Niue people. The priority for Niue is to introduce a financially sustainable system to enable the long term collection, management and export of recyclable and end of life electronic items, utilising the new Recycle facility (funded by the Government of Australia)
