All about e-waste

E-waste is essentially any electronic appliance.

The Australian government has created a scheme to ensure the recycling of e-waste.

E-waste often contains rare or toxic materials that should avoid landfill.

Categories of e-waste
There are two grades, these are: In-Scope and Out-of-Scope

In-Scope (free drop off)

  • TVs & monitors
  • Computers & laptops
  • Mobile phones & tablets
  • Computer peripherals e.g mouse & keyboard
  • Printers

Out-of-Scope (paid drop off)
Not covered by government and require additional processing before being sent to landfill.

  • DVD players
  • Microwaves & kettles
  • Power tools
  • Cordless vacuum cleaners

Recycle your e-waste responsibly.

Deliver to our Transfer Stations or request a collection.

The scholarships come in the form of repurposed laptops, donated by businesses and individuals. Please get in touch if you are interested in being involved. Watch now…
