In Australia: what advice about getting rid of old computer and electronic materials?

Question

Live in Wollongong but I'd like advice about any schemes throughout Australia

Answer 1

I don't live in Australia but I would think you should recycle it.

Answer 2

contact the woollongong council, and ask them if they have a recycling service for electrical goods.

if you go into a post shop _australia post_ they have postable bags to put old mobile phones and batteries in to be recycled.

good luck

or, if the goods work, see if a school or church or day care or seniors centre could use them.

op shops wont accept them

Answer 3

your council should generally have its own schemes for recycling electronic items

alternatively, you could offer things on freecycle (international, with groups in most towns or areas) - as a moderator on my group, there are a few people who take in broken computers etc, make new whole ones out of them and pass them on to charity etc

Answer 4

I here you have lots of sharks. throw them into the ocean and feed the sharks
