E-Waste

Our E-Waste Team processes items including Desktop and Laptop Computers, Servers, Network Switches, Cables, Lead Acid Batteries and Uninterrupted Power Supplies. Our E-Waste team work with our Computer Repair Team to maximise reuse. They  separate the remaining items into different components that can be recycled to maximise the recovery of precious metals including Gold, Silver, Copper,
Aluminium, Cobalt and More.

We currently have partnerships with several local councils and businesses to collect and process their e-waste and we also salvage e-waste from the South Hobart tip.

 

These Donation Points are available at:

– South Hobart Tipshop
– Brighton Waste Transfer Station
– Baretta Waste and Recycling Centre (Margate)
– Southbridge Waste Transfer Station (Huonville)

 

Please drop off any e-waste that you’d like to see recycled. For more information see our e-waste flyer here. 

 

Businesses, councils or other organisations who would like to engage Resource around responsible e-waste recycling are encouraged to contact us at recycling@resourcetipshop.com.
