E-Waste (All Electrical Items & Accessories)

Under the Federal Government’s, the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme (NTCRS) and recycling e-waste (electronic products that have reached the end of their “useful life”) was established. E-waste that ends up in landfill, will leak toxins into the soil and have devastating impacts on the local environment. E-waste contains valuable resources that can be easily recycled and made into new products reducing mining for new resources to make products.

Council’s Resource Recovery Centre is a registered Unplug N' Drop location for all electrical items and accessories and has contracted TechCollect (the only registered not for profit organisation that ensures 90% of materials are recovered) to recycle e-waste collected in the Copper Coast. This service is free of charge.

E-waste includes numerous items that are commonly used by households, such as:

televisions
computers
laptops
printers
phones
batteries
printer cartridges
MP3 players
microwaves
hairdryers
food processors
drills
watches
electronic kids' toys
kitchen appliances
whitegoods (fridges and washing machines)
cabling
gaming devices
monitors
computer peripherals (mice, keyboards, modems, network devices)
light globes
fax machines
cameras (digital and video)
scanners
stereo equipment
DVD and video players (including CDs, VHS and cassette tapes)
