E-WASTE RECYCLING
Did you know?
E-waste is any electronic product coming to the end of its use/life. It includes any device with a power cord or battery, which contain potentially hazardous and valuable materials that don't belong in landfill.
In July 2019, the Victorian Government introduced a ban on the disposal of e-waste into landfill. This includes the following:
-
Entertainment devices: including TVs, movie players, tuners, video game consoles, Hi-Fi systems and speakers.
-
Office devices: including computer hard drives, screens, keyboards and mouse, photocopies, scanners, telephones, servers and data cables / cords.
-
Mobile phones, along with charging devices & cords.
-
Household items: including fridges, freezers, microwaves, toasters, washing machines, dishwashers, coffee machines, bread makers and pressure cookers.

Lighting: including desk lamps and flood lights.

Power Tools: including drills, grinders and welders.
