Where to dispose of your old technology

Why proper e-waste disposal matters and how we can help your business do it right

As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, many small businesses find themselves with a growing pile of outdated computers, monitors, printers, and other electronic equipment. But before you consider tossing them in the bin or leaving them in a storeroom to gather dust, it’s important to know that disposing of electronic waste (e-waste) in general rubbish is illegal in many parts of Australia—and for good reason.

Why e-waste cannot go to landfill

Electronic equipment contains hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can leach into soil and waterways if dumped in landfills. These materials pose serious environmental and health risks, contributing to long-term pollution. That’s why there are strict regulations around e-waste disposal—compliance isn’t just a good idea, it’s the law.

Recycling: The smarter, greener choice

E-waste recycling offers a far more sustainable alternative. Many of the components inside electronic devices—like copper, aluminium, gold, and rare earth metals—can be recovered and reused. In fact, recycling old technology is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to extract valuable resources, as it avoids the destructive environmental impact of traditional mining.

By recycling electronics, we reduce the demand for raw materials, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and conserve finite resources. It’s a win for your business’s sustainability goals and a step toward a greener future.
