Computers
Computers are electronic waste (e-waste) and must be kept out of your kerbside bins. They create a fire hazard in collection vehicles and receiving facilities. E-waste can become an environmental hazard.
Computers include:
- Desktop computer monitors and towers
- Laptops, notepads, ipads and other portable computer devices
- keyboards, mouse and hard-drives
Before you throw it out
Keep intact.
How/where to dispose of it
Recycle via Council's recycling and waste depots
or at Officeworks.
Will it cost anything to get rid of?
No. Disposal is free for domestic quantities only.
What happens to it after we receive it?
Electronic waste is sent to specialist recyclers where it undergoes a manual dismantling process. Individual materials such as plastics, metals, glass are recovered and processed to be recycled into new products.
