E-waste is any Item with a Cord, Battery or Switch

These items should not be placed in any of your kerbside bins. Since September 2013, ewaste has been banned from direct landfill disposal across all of South Australia under the under the Environment Protection (Waste to Resources) Policy 2010.

Why waste it? When you can recycle it!

E-waste can contain hazardous materials including heavy metals and glass which if broken or damaged pose an unacceptable environmental hazard.

E-waste can be readily recycled (including 90% of what is used to make televisions and computers), saving valuable, finite resources.

Electronic Recycling – TVs & Computers

Millions of televisions, computers and mobile phones are discarded in Australia each year.

To prevent it ending up in landfill, the Federal Government introduced the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme (NTCRS) in 2011. There are now more than 1,800 collection points across the country where householders and small businesses can drop off their unwanted televisions, computers and accessories for free. More than 130,000 tonnes of TV and computer e-waste has been collected and recycled under the scheme. This has diverted hazardous materials away from landfill and enabled the reuse of valuable resources contained in e-waste.1

The National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme provides householders and small business with access to industry-funded TV and computer recycling. It is not designed to receive commercial quantities of electronic waste. A maximum of 15 items will be accepted. Schools and larger businesses will need to make their own private arrangements.

TV and Computer items accepted
Televisions
Computers
Laptops
Computer towers
Computer monitors
Keyboards
Mouse
Printers
Scanners
Other computer peripherals (ie. cords, batteries, etc.)

Light Globes (incandescent/old style bayonett/halogen/fluorescent): Householders are advised not to place compact fluorescent globes or other fluorescent tubes in their kerbside recycling bin. These items need to be recycled by a company with a specific process. The mercury powder contained in them is a significant contamination concern for the broader recycling industry.
So where can you deposit your light globes and tubes for recycling?  South Australian Householders are able to take a wide variety of household light globes including halogen, incandescent and fluorescent globes to these South Australian companies:

What happens to the E-waste?

Once received at one of the registered drop-off locations, all material will be separated and sent for recycling as part of the National Recycling Scheme for Televisions and Computers.

All items are carefully pulled apart to recover the items of value which include small amounts of gold, copper and recyclable glass and plastic. Hazardous components are safely captured including lead, mercury, phosphorous, chromium and cadmium. The recyclable components are then sent to be made into new products.
