E-waste (electronic waste) is one of the fastest-growing types of waste in our community. Here are some options to consider instead of sending e-waste to landfill:
Computers & Televisions
Please take to Bungendore or Braidwood Transfer Station or the ACT Resource Recovery Centre in Hume for free drop off
Gaming Devices
These can be valuable! Try selling them online, or find a store that deals in second hand games and gear.
DVD players, Stereos, Cameras, iPods and Toys
Recycle your unwanted electronics through your nearest Storage King store.
For a small cost you can buy an e-waste collection box. Fill it with your old devices (you can even leave the batteries inside) and return it to Storage King. They'll recycle it through the ECOACTIV Product Recovery Program. Find out more on the ECOACTIV website.
Mobile Phones
Drop off up to 15 old phones per visit at the Community Recycling Centre. You can also use the Mobile Muster program Many stores that sell phones will also take old phones for recycling.
Apple Products
Apple Giveback lets you trade in old devices to get an Apple store gift card. If your old Apple doesn't qualify for a trade-in, Apple will still recycle it for free.
Conditions apply. See Apple's website for details.
