E-waste Recycling
Approximately 98% of all electronic products are recyclable. However, in Western Australia the majority of e-waste is still either disposed of unethically, sent to land-fill or placed in storage. We believe the primary reason for this is a general lack of awareness and availability of convenient recycling opportunities.
There are numerous disposal opportunities in and around Perth as well as in some regional areas. If you are unsure of where you can dispose of e-waste in your area contact your local council representative and demand answers.
Environmental Fee
Due to the complicated nature of electronic devices, the disassembly process is extremely labour intensive and can be dangerous if performed incorrectly. Many devices also contain highly toxic chemicals and components which can be costly to dispose of safely.
It is for these reasons that we offer a fee based service which includes complete environmental recycling in full compliance with all Australian Environmental Laws and Regulations.
Through our disassembly process we are able to ensure maximum recovery rates of all re-usable materials including the following:

This means that these products don’t have to be mined from the ground and can be simply and safely refined ready for re-use. For example in the construction industry 80% of new steel currently comes from recycled scrap.
Recycling of these valuable commodities means
- Substantial savings to the environment
- Considerable energy savings
- Less CO² emissions
- Significantly less water consumption.
Through our disassembly processes we are also able to separate out hazardous materials and prevent them from entering land-fills, waterways or being illegally exported to lesser developed countries.
These materials include the following:
