Electronic waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams in Victoria. When not properly disposed of or recycled, e-waste can emit pollutants and become a serious health and environmental problem. This event offers a convenient way to drop off electronic waste to be safely disposed of and recycled.
If your e-waste is still in good working condition but no longer wanted, please consider donating these items to a charity or op shop, or giving it away on Facebook marketplace to someone who would have use of it.
Gather your e-waste and head down to the Ocean View carpark, Queenscliffe, on Saturday 11 May 2024 from 9 am to 1 pm. No trucks or commercial quantities will be accepted.
