What’s the problem with e-waste?
E-waste is electronic waste and can contain hazardous materials such as lead and mercury which can leach into waterways and cause irreparable environmental and human harm when sent to landfill . In Australia, E-waste is growing at three times the rate of ordinary household waste. Australians generate 140,000 tonnes of e-waste each year.

If you are bringing small or easy-to-carry items, we encourage you to walk, cycle or take public transport to reduce congestion and carbon emissions.
Recycling e-waste is important
Recycling saves energy and precious natural resources like water, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat global warming. Between 95 and 98 per cent of all E-waste collected on the day will be recovered and reused.
To help Australia keep E-waste out of landfill, the City supports a national scheme for managing electronic waste – where producers are responsible for recycling products at the end of their useful life.
